The pour is a golden yellow with some orange tinge depending on where the light catches it. The aroma is quite muted but there is some typical banana & bubblegum in the nose when I really focus in on it. I agree with getting the lemon on the taste along with the usual banana & bubblegum flavors but they could be more pronounced, not to mention the spice notes are barely there as well. There is no date to be found on the bottle. All in all, this is really a lackluster hefeweizen. I'm a big fan of American & Belgium Wheat beers but a fresh & well made German Hefeweizen is the creme de la creme, so if your looking to get into the style don't let this beer put you off because things do get better. Cheers! B-

Pours clear golden orange with thick white head, smells of yeasty wheat slightly herbal hops, tastes of sweet crisp wheat with lemon peppery spicy hops, bright carbonation with moderate mouthfeel.

Golden pour with a huge white head. Slight lacing.
Aromas of dough, yeast, citrus (mostly lemon) hint of cloves.
Tasty sweet, molasses, lemon, pineapple, cloves.
Crisp, clean, slighty bitter.
Totally fabulous Wiessenbier. Try it, you'll like it!

Big wheat and coriander in aroma, with orange and a touch of bubblegum. There's a slight metallic character. Flavor is citrus dominant, with lemon and orange peel underlying a bready, wheat malt backbone. Coriander rounds out the finish. Perhaps more bready than most and not as characterful of yeast esters, but a solid offering. Light metallic notes emerge in flavor, which is the only detracting factor.

4.7% ABV per the label.
Pours a murky light yellow-orange with a foamy bone head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. No lacing on the drink down. Tiny chunks of sediment are seen floating around in the beer after the pour. Smell is of wheat, caramel, and fruit aromas. Taste is much the same with wheat, caramel, and slightly tart pineapple flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of earth bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp and dry mouthfeel. Overall, this is an above average beer with an interesting tart pineapple flavor that I wasn't expecting.
Serving type: bottle.

.5l flip-top cap brown bottle, no apparent freshness dating.
$3.79 @ Total Wine & More, Cherry Hill, NJ
Apparently a bad bottle, it opened with no crack, nor even a hiss. As I poured it no head built, regardless of how high I held the bottle or how I shook it up. What a disappointment. The paper strip over the metal enclosure was sealed, so it hadn't been tampered with. It poured crystal-clear, revealing a seriously sedimented yeast cake at the bottom of the bottle. I blame Total Wine & More for this, not the brewery.
Appearance: crystal-clear golden body until the yeast sediment was disturbed - I feel this is probably just a very old bottle. No head, but again, I can't fault the brewery without a better idea of what's happened.
Smell: Yeasty after the pour. Hay-like, spice, and yeast prior. Again, probably just well beyond its "best by" date. Some spicy and floral hops have survived however.
Taste: Grainy malt. Wheat. Some phenol; light touch of vanilla and banana.
Mouthfeel: Obviously I can't review the mouthfeel based on my sample. There is some carbonation but it's only about 2.1 volumes of C02 where it needs to be closer to 3.0.
Overall: Hard to tell. Based on what I have I find it balanced. I'd imagine that the spiciness of a fresh bottle would be refreshing. I'm going to seek a new bottle to do an update.
