A light-bodied, full-flavored unfiltered beer brewed in the tradition of European wheat beers. Wheat malt, the finest barley and Roasted Caramel malts are combined with Pacific Northwest Cascade hops and a touch of pure honey for a wheat beer with a smooth, crisp finish.

It's a Hefe, decent flavor and color, my wife really liked this beer when she first had it a number of years ago. You could always count on Henry's beers to good, besides the were inexpensive and you could find them just about anywhere in the Pacific NW.

Darker than should be appearance, hazy, fine particles in it, hopefully thrashed wheat. Aroma was lots of wheat, hit that on the head, but no complexities, banana, clove etc. . .. Seems all pale wheat than it does hefe.
Taste is more wheat, a weird missplaced bitterness. Super carbonated. Not really good in any context.

Reinstating reviews from the Weinhard's and others purge. Pours out more of a copper color with lots of cloudiness, a little darker than what i want in a hopefully bright yellow hefe, with more white head, instead of off white. Seems like maybe they didn't use enough wheat. Aroma was pretty bland, thankfully it wasn't heavy on clove, but it didn't have all the usual precursors and aspects of a traditional hefe either, most notably, wheat.
Taste, bland, non offensive, mildly sweet. Not hoppy, still some bitterness and mineral aspects to it. Seems like they aimed for the kind of beer you could put a wedge of citrus fruit into. The wheat does come out a little more here than it did in the aforementioned aroma, or lack thereof.
Tastes more like a bland, small ratio pale wheat, maybe with some honey or splenda added to it.
