Spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of ripe banana, pear, apricot, apple, orange peel, clove, wheat, honey, bread, light bubblegum, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of malt, and fruity/earthy yeast ester notes; with solid strength.

Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth, crisp, and lightly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is a nice hefeweizen. Good balance and complexity of malt and fruity/earthy yeast flavors; with good robustness for the ABV and very smooth drinking. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Bottle. Beer of the month club. Cloudy yellowish orange with a medium white head. Spicy estery aroma with clove, some banana, some vanilla, citric hints and bready notes. Fruity wheaty flavor, pretty crisp, with light sweetness, sourish touches, lemony notes and a drier spicy finish. Medium-bodied. A decent refreshing Hefeweizen.

16 ounce bottle from State Line. Pours a slightly hazy yellow color with a medium sized fizzy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of wheat, apples, herbal notes and faint bubblegum. The taste is tart wheat, apples and herbal notes. Very herbal and spicy... like Mexican food. Thin bodied, high carbonation. This isn’t really bad or good. Truly an odd beast.

Purchased at Breeze Thru Liquors in Milwaukee, WI; enjoyed during week 1 of the NFL season after running in the hot Chicago Half Marathon this morning. Appearance a rather cloudy vibrant orange with a thin white head that rims around the glass. Aroma mostly subdued, mainly of clove and German yeast. Taste is pretty carbonated for a hefe, not really smooth or crisp, but still has the classic Weiss elements of clove and a touch of citrus. It’s not bad but there are definitely better Weiss beers out there.

On tap. Poured a hazy gold with a white head that dissipated quickly to the edges. Aroma was quite sweet with wheat and grain coming through with some underlying spice and citrus. Flavor had citrus and spice notes that balanced nicely with the sweet wheat and grain notes.
