Yuengling® Summer Wheat is carefully brewed with a combination of wheat and barley malts. Hallertau hops and Bavarian-style top fermenting yeast deliver a thick, creamy head with overtones of banana and clove esters. This authentic German Weizen style beer, with a slight hazy appearance, concludes with a crisp finish.

12oz bottle. Poured a light hazy amber orange color with a small white head. Aroma was notes of light wheat notes, sweet malts. Some light notes of yeast, light banana, sweet notes that remind me a bit of Yuengling.

12 oz. Bottle purchased at Julio’s Liquors. The yeast has a authentic German feel. Light banana and pale malts. The flavor and aroma are a damn near mirror image.

Body has a solid amount of pale grain, honey with banana bready flavors. Body is way lighter than a true German Hefe but it does display the nice yeast characteristics that the style should have. Very easy to drink if you love the style. Funny, I wish I had bought a few bottles instead of just one. It is an easy drinking warm weather brew.

Finally, a chance to try a bottle of this. Been seeing it around but just could get my hands on it. Sediment on the bottom of the bottle. Pour does look like a typical hefe. Smells like a typical hefe. Yes, the taste is like a mild hefe. Well done, good hefe character without being one sided. Decent flavors and aroma of banana and bubble gum fer sure and it never gets in yer face. Really good co2 also. Yes, very good example of an American hefe. well done yuengy! Much better than I expected. Easy going finish. No real ill effects here. One of the better domestic beers that approach the real flavor of german hefe.

Bottle, thanks for sharing! Pours a cloudy light gold with a white head that lasts through the beer. Aroma has lots of sweet grains with a hint of light fruit and clove. Flavor is similar, sweet grain and wheat with light spice.
