Poured an orange body with minimal head and lace. The beer smells like mild orange peels. Smooth, light body, not much in terms of yeast or bubblegum sweetness but it does have a nice spiciness from clove and an orange peel-like citric sweetness to it.

 

Look: Hazy gold. 1 finger of creamy white head with poor retention.

Smell: Banana, sweet wheat malt, a little pepper.

Taste: Bright orange peel, sweet wheat malt, a little coppery at the bottom. No real bitterness.

Mouthfeel: A little thin, moderate carbonation.

Overall: A nice hot weather refresher.

 

 

Petty good hefe. Had it at an outdoor BBQ and it stood up pretty well to the food on a hot day. A 16 oz can. Pours a hazy dark gold with a medium size bubbly white head. Average retention, won't comment on lacing since I drank it out of a plastic cup. Aroma was mostly lemony with some yeast and wheat bitterness. Not a lot of spicing. Taste is fairly good too. Lemony, noticeable wheat and yeasty. The cloves and "bubblegum" featured in many better hefeweizens are not really apparent here. Mouthfeel is light and refreshing with a touch of bitterness from the wheat. A pretty good choice for a warm day.

 

 

Hefeweizen in a can? Cheesy artwork? I shouldn't judge a beer by its cover. Pours almost no head, semi cloudy honey color. Weak wheaty aroma. Taste ok but lacking any strong Weise flavor. Nothing special.
