Shiner Hefeweizen pours a golden yellow color with a big white head from a brown twelve ounce bottle. The aroma is bready. The flavor is not to style, this is not a hefeweizen in the
German tradition, this is an American wheat beer. As an American wheat beer, the flavor is nice, mostly malty, not a lot going on. I wouldn't turn one down however.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5

12 oz bottle from the Shiner mixed box. No freshness info.

Pours clouded apricot, off white head, that stays nicely. Leaves a band or two of stick.

Muted lemons on the nose

Servicable Hefe, more lemons, some oranges, wheaty malts, a bit of nuttyness from the yeast. Moderate complexity and depth of flavors.

Nothing special but would work fine on a warm summer day

Pours a hazy golden color with an orange hue. The off white head is fairly dense and settles into a light cap

The aroma is bready and lightly fruity, perhaps lemony. No clove, bubblegum, or banana that you would find in a true bavarian hefe. No much there.

The taste is bready and fruity as well. Some apple and lemon notes provide a tartness. There is a honey like sweetness. Some grassy hop flavor in the finish. it doesn't taste like a true hefe but has a solid flavor. It is hard to rate it higher than a 3 since the beer is called a hefeweizen and not an american wheat ale.

Moderate body with fizzy carbonation. Mildly sweet on the palate with a slightly dry finish. Easy drinker.

A decent beer, just not a true hefe.

Poured from 12 oz bottle into pint glass

A - hazy orange in color with a 2 inch white head with decent retention. little lacing

S - floral and citrus notes up front , malts in the background

T - floral, citrus, bready malts. passive flavor

M - light bodied, good, carb, smooth drinking.

Overall - A decent session beer, easy to drink, not overly heavy, and has decent flavor, although it could be more aggressive for my tastes. worth a try on a hot day, especially for the price.
