Poured into a Sam Adams pint glass, about 40 degrees fahrenheit.
Pours a hazy gold with a light orange core. A frothy, white whipped cream head disappears into a rim of bubbles, no cap.
Smells of clove, banana, and breads. Fairly projected.
The mouth is relatively weak with a sort of cheap wheat flavor turning only into some banana at the start of the drydown. Barely any finish at all. What's there in it is largely yeast. High drinkability though, and with food maybe could see some additional character.
Mouthfeel is thin, and more effervescent than I would like. More than feels like a "Hefe-light."
I think this is my least favorite offering from Flying Dog. Tame and safe, it doesn't really live up to the bold marketing set out for it. It accomplishes what it set out to do in terms of a German style Hefeweizen, but I would love a little bit more cream in the mouthfeel, maybe some additional viscosity. Anything to make it more tenacious. At $1.50USD (12oz bottle), I'm not disappointed, but given the variety of Hefeweizens on the market, I'll keep looking for sure.

355 ml bottle, as Flying Dog In-Heat Wheat Hfeweizen, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.7%. Also available in some Norwegian grocery stores. Hazy pale golden colour, big white head. Typical hefeweizen aroma of ripe bananas and cloves. The flavour also has notes of ripe bananas and cloves, medium sweet, soft mouthfeel, very drinkable, low bitterness. A good hefeweizen - no more, no less.

12 oz bottle. Hazy yellow, medium frothy white head. Aroma is as expected; banana, clove, spices, wheat. Light to medium body, some spice and sweetness initially.
