From tap at Yards, Pasadena. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small lacing white head. Aroma is mild caramelish. Light breadish and mild caramel flavoured. Light sweetness and caramel lingering finish. Good.

Draft. A dark golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes caramel and honey. The flavor is sweet matly with strong notes of honey as well as lighter notes of straw and spices, leading to a dry honey finish.

Draft at Claim Jumper, Lombard. This is on the menu and the tap handle as "Claim Jumper Hefeweizen." I asked the server if this was from SLO and she concurred, but SLO doesn’t have a hefe. But then, this wasn’t much of a hefe. But the comments here and on "the Advocate" for this beer concur with my impressions, so here ’tis:
I requested a "short," so this came in a shaker instead of a weizen glass, slice of lemon floating inside. Slightly reddish color, no hefe haze. Foam is gone in less than a minute. Lemon adds to a citrusy smell impression. Taste is actually a bit hearty, but mostly from light malts. Touch of sourness, again from the lemon I flicked out. Some esters. I can’t pick out anything here that tells me it’s a wheat beer; more along the lines of a 312. It’s okay as a summer beer (I biked to the restaurant before going to the bus). But this ain’t no hefe, Hefé.

On draught at Old Baldy in Upland, CA. The beer is a hazy yellowish color with a medium thin white head that diminishes fairly quick. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Mild wheat aroma with touches of fruit and spice. Medium, clean body with flavors of sweet fruit and wheat, plus a touch of spice. The finish is fruity with a short wheaty aftertaste. Unmemorable overall.

Bomber. Foam crawled out of the bottle; rocky four finger head; medium gold color. Nice, not over the top, hoppy aroma like floral backed by citrus. Less than medium body with near creamy carbonation. Light citric sour over bread and maybe pine hop. Rather pleasant APA. Finish is fairly dry, but there’s a balancing touch of sweet hiding in the hop. Not strongly bitter, but good bitter.

Clear golden coloured body with a light copper hue. Light white head tops the beer gingerly and steady streams of fine bubbles rise from the botom constantly. Aroma of light citrus, good hops, pale malt and a light amount of sugars. Medium-bodied; Sharp hoppy flavour with a good malt backbone and a small amount of subtle citrus and pomme fruits throughout. Aftertaste shows a bit of the sweetness and some of the hops too. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in La Jolla, California on 03-December-2005.
