Smells and tastes like white wine, more flavor than a Kona longboard, but I’m not a huge white wine fan

I got a can of this beer from a Holiday 24pck that I bought from my local Target store. It poured a hazy orangish with no head and no lace. The scent had subtle orange peel notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with subtle citrus presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with fizzy carbonation. Overall it is a decent beer.

Appearance: Pours a light golden-colored body with slight haziness to it. Fast-vanishing, white head.
Smell: A little grain, knobs of rock sugar, some fruitiness and a smidgen of cracked clove.
Taste: It's sweet, kinda sugary, even, with a touch of simple syrup. Lightly bready, modestly grainy. Another jolt of sugar as a fruity apple juice-banana flavor enters along with some light clove. Slight tongue-coating action as the tastes culminate in an unappealing finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium-plus carbonation.
Overall: A clunky, uninspired rendition of a hefe. Less Golden Road and more Middle-of-the-Road.

12 oz can from Florida with a 1/1/2021 BB date stamped on the bottom. 5% ABV is displayed in the label.
Appearance. Clear orange-amber colored body with a decent white head but minimal lacing.
Aroma. Spicy with a suggestion of clove and a hint of allspice.
Flavor. Spicy, although less so than the aroma suggests, with banana joining the clove.

12oz can. Poured out a clear, golden amber color with a small, off-white head of foam. Short-lived and left no lacing at all. It smelled of banana, clove, cracked wheat and some yeasty notes. Sweet wheat taste with banana, clove and some light spices.

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a clear orange amber color with a one finger head of fizzy white foam. The head fades rather fast leaving a light level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is strong wheat bread smell mixed with a little bit of clove and coriander. Along with these aromas comes a moderate showing of a banana smell as well as a bit of orange.
Taste – The taste begins with a bready and wheat flavor mixed with some tastes of banana and hay. At the same time there is some orange and peach sweetness as well as a touch of caramel and orange. As the taste advances tastes of coriander and clove as well as a bit of pepper come to the tongue. With a slight loss in the sweet and wheat, and a touch of herb, one is left with a moderate sweet hefe taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is medium to slightly lighter with a carbonation level that is medium. For the style and the slightly sweeter flavor the feel is decent and makes it a rather easy sipping brew.
Overall – An OK hefe. Nothing to go out of your way for though.
