Shiner Hefeweizen (Hef-ay-vite-zen) is a classic unfiltered Bavarian-style wheat brew. Once poured into a glass, the distinctively cloudy Shiner Hefeweizen delivers a fresh, satisfying flavor from start to finish.

By far the best Shiner product I’ve tried to date. Pours a nice light and dusty gold with a massive foamy head (that disipates rather quickly.) Aroma is weak... of sweet malt, maybe some grassy scents, with minimal lemon. Lemon comes through stronger in taste (although is never too pronounced). Other flavors that intermingle include sweet malt and hay. The sweet flavors compliment the understated lemon rather well, making this one a rather fine (cheap) refreshing summer brew.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a big white head. Aroma is wheat with a touch of lemon. Flavor is decent. Lots of yeast and lemon zestyness to make this a good rep of the style. The best brew from this brewer by far!

Bottle Pours a very light slightly hazy golden color with a dense thick white head. Aroma is definatelty a wheat beer but has a distinctive German/Belgian yeasty note. Flavor is light and a bit swet. Very mild grain flavors and pleasant but not much of a backbone. Very littel bittering hops and a soft carbonation. Slight bready aftertaste. Simple and fairly tasty.

Bottle. Upon the first few sips of this, it seems to be quite good, with honey, wheat, a touch of sourness and light citrus all coming together to be quite refreshing. However, the refreshment wears off, and the beer warms considerably. Now, it seems to be an overly sweet, extract-tasting mess of wheat, sharp/soured notes and a strange, lightly stale finish. Fairly watery consistency, moderate carbonation. Aroma is not much to speak of, just light lemon, honey and perhaps some hops.

Rather than a classic Bavarian wheat, I think this is actually a classic American wheat in that it has little aroma, little flavor, and pretty much sucks. There is a small hint of wheat in the taste, but the flavor is closer to a lager. Appearance is cloudy orange, in an attempt to fool the drinker that there will be a real hefe taste. Don't bother with this one.

Bottled. Pale mustard yellow, cloudy. Soapy, orangey aroma. Softly malty but the soapy hoppiness dominates. Refreshing, but offering nothing extra.

Really more of an American Wheat rather than German - given its clean flavors. Cloudy yellow with thick head which faded maybe a little to quickly given style. Clean and mild aroma - flavor also clean and mild. Mild malt flavors almost zesty. Light bitterness is too much for style. No yeast flavors/effects to speak of - maybe a hint of something herbal. Slight alcohol warming in the finish was unexpected.
