Served in a Lagunitas mason jar.
I somehow missed this one in the variety 12-pack, but that's what mixed-six selections are for, right? This stuff pours a lightly-hazy auburn-brass topped by a finger of relatively short-lived off-cream-white foam. The nose comprises mild wheat, a hint of musty citrus peel, and a touch of old banana peel (you know the type: your roommate put it in the garbage a few days ago, but now he's playing Jenga Trash 'cause he doesn't wanna take it out (despite it being his turn), and now the peel has somehow made its way back to the top (no one knows how), making its presence known every time you pass by the can...). The taste brings in more of the same, along with a bit of mild wet cardboard, making for quite the bland an unappealing hefeweizen. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a nearly watery feel. Overall, this is just a sad excuse for a hefeweizen and a weak-ass wheat beer regardless. 'Nuff said.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle.
A- Cloudy, but not enough to truly represent the style. A thin foam head dissolves to a short, white cap floating on an inviting gold liquid
S- Very powerful aromas of banana and cloves. Very little malt presence and no hop presence in the aroma. This beer certainly smells like a hefeweizen.
T- Initial taste reminds me of a macro-brewed hefeweizen. The initial taste is OK, but it evolves into a watery aftertaste. Reminds me of something the big brewers would make.
M- Not much mouthfeel atr all; very watery.
O- OK, but just. It's a passable representation of the style; a nice, affordable choice for some summertime backward quaffing, but I've had better...

Poured from a twelve ounce bottle into a pint glass.
Pours pale golden colored with fizzy & fast white foam. Just some smidges remain. Classic smell, though on the lighter side. More banana, less spice. Wheat/tart too. Taste though, is a little mixed up - kind of feels thrown together. The bite is off. Not quite right.

Appearance - Medium yellow and cloudy. Tall foamy white head with good retention.
Smell - Light to medium wheat and lemony sourness. Clove and/or banana not prominent.
Taste - Light bready wheat and strong citrus (lemon) sourness. Lacks banana and clove flavors. One note.
Mouthfeel - Medium light. Crisp.
Overall - This is pretty light and refreshing. Might be nice on a hot summer day. I don't think, however, that this beer will satisfy most looking for a hefeweizen.

Poured into wine goblet during Super Bowl.
A: slightly hazy golden straw, looks too filtered for style and not enough body.
S: Lots of grain and a bit of white bread, yeast.
T: Grain and white bread something trying to be a Belgian yeast, a slight dry tartness in the finish. Just a bit of spice.
M: Below average, lacking crispness and prickly carbonation, smooth finish I expect with the style.
O: Tastes little an old heff made with cheap ingredients
