Poured a cloudy yellow body with moderate head and lacing. Aroma has very little going with just hints of yeast/wheat twang and a little bit of bitter citric notes. The bitter citric/orange flavor in the beer overpowers everything and there is very little fruit sweetness, very little yeast to keep things smooth as at times the beer is just a bitter mess and very little spices to perk up the beer.

Pours a light fizzy head covering with med retention, touch of lacing, hazy slight cloudy pale to straw color a little yeast sediment at the bottom

Nose has some decent banana, cracker and bread dough notes, a weird herbal grassy character, light herbal spices as well, little citrus

Taste brings creamy wheat, a little cracker and dough, light banana and citrus, generic fruit into light herbal floral spices, mixed spices and a little grassy earthy thing, drier finish with fair bitterness

Mouth is med to a little lighter bod, med to lighter fizzy carb

Overall it's OK but not that good, weird characters, not a ton of creamy wheat or banana, clove, etc

This home-state hefeweizen pours to a disappointingly thin, brief-lived white head that leaves a very few thin swoops of lacing; the pale-straw-colored body is surprisingly clear for the style, showing just a slight haze, and is very, very effervescent. The aroma is an improvement: light-medium in intensity, it is a blend of tartish citrus and muddy wheat, with a significant yeast presence and the slightest hint of estery spice; slight alcohol overtones ride atop everything else. The flavor is a bit thin, and mostly follows the nose, but the banana/clove spice, though subtle, is now strong enough to be identifiable. The wheat foundation is notably missing the characteristically light, low-end sweetness that a hefeweizen usually has; I think that this contributes to the perception that the flavor is thinnish. The finish is pretty clean, just a bit of caramel, and has a watery feel; the linger is a very light yeast/wheat flavor that lasts for a minute or so. The mouthfeel is light, even for the light body, and somewhat watery; the texture is distractingly prickly from the aggressive and soda-like carbonation, and lacks any degree of the creaminess that one would expect from the style. (12 oz bottle, 106 days after pkg)

Poured into a Creature Comforts nonic pint. Label says Bottling Date: 05/10/16.

A- Pours a semi-hazy light golden color with a 1/4 inch white head that doesn't retain long before becoming a paper-thin ring around the edge of the glass and minimal surface foam. Nearly no lacing.

S- Usual yeasty whiff of banana and clove.

T- Plenty of banana flavor from the yeast with some wheat malt presence. The flavor is short-lived and fades from the palate quickly. Slightly sweet and easy to drink but not exciting.

M- Thin, even for the style, with medium carbonation and a light body.

O- Pretty average Hefe. Would recommend seeking out authentic German versions before trying this.

A: Poured a slightly opaque straw color with limited head and lacing.

S: Nice traditional hefe smell, I am getting the bread along with both a little of banana and clove, interesting.

T: Followed the nose for the most part, more sweet with the banana then clove. Overall it was a muted taste.

F: Light feel, carbonation was okay but the beer was thin.

O: Well, reasonable representation of style but not a lot there. Would take it over a lot of brews but would not look for.
