The beer was served on-tap at the Foothills brewpub.

A-The beer was served with a lacy ring on the pint glass but had little head. The beer itself was a hazy light gold color.

S-There was a clove smell initially that evolved into a rubber/plastic like smell. There was a slight bubblegum aroma persisitant throughout the time it took to drink the pint.

T-There was little to no malt sweetness with a slight grainy tast and a bubblegum like flavor.

M-The hefeweizen had a lighter body with lower carbonation rate than most wheat beers.

O-The beer is a solid example of the style but lacks in character. It is a drinkable session style beer though.

On tap at World of Beers at North Hills

A - bright yellow; no head

S - faint lemon; cleanser

T - faint lemon, faint spice

M - crisp, very light

This is similar to a light beer that glows and has some faint citrus and lemon to it. It's rather forgettable. There are far better Hefeweizen's out there.

Had on tap.

Appearance is a hazy light to medium yellow with a fizzy white head.

Smells strongly of clove and bubblegum with a little bit of pineapple.

Flavor is clove, banana, and bubblegum. There is a moderate pineapple taste as well which is quite refreshing. One downside would be the mouthfeel is quite watery.

Overall is pretty tasty hefe. Just a little more body would make for a perfect summer thirst quencher.

A: On-tap at Oak Barrel Tavern. Had a pale yellow color and a cloudy consistency. There was a small amount of creamy head that quickly dissipated. Not much lacing.

S: A sweet, somewhat underplayed aroma of wheat, bubblegum and spices.

T: Tasted of wheat, banana, bubblegum, spices and something I couldn't quite put my finger on. A good, solid, refreshing flavor. Generally in keeping with the style.

M: A well-carbonated beer with a fairly crisp finish. Medium-bodied.

O: On the whole, this is a well done and flavorful summer beer.
