500 ml Bottle purchased at Julio’s Liquors. Sampled this slightly chilled. Ridiculous amount of carbonation on a slow pour Into a Weizen glass. After a few minutes to let the head settle, in the aroma I got a very light yeast nuance that isn’t of German decent, more of a Belgian like yeast with hints of herbal hops.

You should understand that this is an oxymoron of a style since true German Hefeweizens are NOT over hopped. I actually like the herbal and pine hop bitterness in this brew. However, I was looking for a German yeast strain. When you advertise a "German Hefeweizen " I really was expecting a German yeast element. That is not here. I enjoy the creativity the newer used but was let down a bit. Plus the body was thin and again lacked any type of yeast in the mouthfeel.
