look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

Pours out like a hefeweizen should with a hazy golden yellow body with lots of bubbles shooting upwards. Big foamy white head.

The aroma is basically wheat and citrusy lemon character.

Tastes citrusy with some wheaty breadiness and a slight spice.

Light bodied with a high level of carbonation.

I'm assuming the yeast is fairly tame hence the fruit additions. Big ol meh but worthy of lawnmower beer status.

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

look: 3.5 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 3 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.25

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.

look: 3.25 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

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.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

A - Cloudy yellow gold. Shade of orange. 2 finger chunky head. lots of bubbles rushing upwards

S - Yeast, hint of banana, subtle spice - clove and/or coriander.

T - yeast, a little too clean for a hefeweizen. some warm spices hidden somewhere. hints of banana of course.

M - lots of carb. it's overwhelming. texture is nice though.

O - Surprising. Very surprising for the cost. but then again, Shiner's Bock is as well. I've been on a wheat/hefe tasting kick this past week and this one is better than most.

look: 3.25 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

Bottle poured into glass gives a large fluffy head that slowly recedes to a thin film on top, with medium-low lacing. Color is a densly cloudy straw/peach. Smell is not very strong and consists of yeast, citrus, and a bit of spices.

Tastes first of orange, then yeast, spices, and lemon peel. Happily surprised with the flavor, has a bit of a grainy aftertaste, though. Has medium body and very high carbonation.
