look: 4.5 | smell: 5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 5
Appearance-Pours an absolutely gorgeous hazy orange-amber into the glass with two fingers of fluffy white head. As the head recedes it leaves a thin film of white along the top and a sticky ring of lacing; a real beaut of a hefe.

Aroma-Mmmmmnm, oooh wow this has an awesome aroma; cloves, banana, citric zest, funky yeast...it's pure hefe bliss really.

Taste-Follows the nose entirely starting off with the typical hefe banana/clove fare which is nice in and of itself but then it's joined by that same pleasant citric character from the aroma. Finishes off with a touch of sweetness and an alcoholic bite; nice.

Mouthfeel-Medium-plush body with a nice crispy carbonation; couldn't imagine a better mouthfeel for this beer.

Drinkability-Just one six pack of this isn't enough, hell, two sixes might not be enough between two people; this one is absurdly drinkable and goes fast.

Notes-Sly Fox *REALLY* nailed it with this one, this Hefe is, in my opinion, easily on the same level of Hefes like Weihestephaner and Schneider. Major props to Sly Fox for brewing such an awesome Hefe.

Draft at brewery. Hazy golden pour , tiny head. Body about right, light weizen aromas, banana, clove, bubblegum, etc. Taste too. Nearly there, but not quite. (sorry I'm a purist for hefeweizens.)

I happen to like the cloudy orange brownish look. What I don't like is the almost total lack of aroma. As I am drinking this on tap at Slyfox this beer should be at its best. It is not. Even though there was a head when the waitress set it down, it completely disappeared by the time I logged in to read the other reviews. As for the taste it's a banana bomb. If that's your style you may like this beer. While not unpleasant it's not a beer I would order again.

I had two pours, on tap, into pint glasses.

L---An unattractive, hazy light brown with an orange tint. No head, no lacing.

S---Yeasty. Some banana & clove, as per the style.

Banana & clove. A little bit of citrus & wheat.

F---Not as crisp & refreshing as expected. Carbonation is ok.

O---Not as good an offering as I would have hoped for from Sly Fox. I'll pass on a refill.

I think Sly Fox usually makes good beers. I think this is a miss for them. I poured cans into a Hefeweizen glass. There was no head. The color is good and the beer is hazy, but I can see some clumps of yeast suspended in the beer. I can't smell anything. The flavor isn't bad, but not that great compared to other Hefeweizens. My advice is try a different Hefeweizen and go for other Sly Fox beers.

Thus was gifted to me, and I usually like wheat beers, but this is not worth buying. It looks dark orange in the glass, but the good flavors are lacking.
