Bottle. Slightly hazy amber body. Quickly receding off-white head. Malty aroma of caramel, toasted grain. Hint of grass and citrus. The flavor is moderately sweet and moderately bitter. The finish is lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Dry. A bit of rubbery taste. Medium body with a slightly sticky texture. Though pleasantly bitter in the finish, there is too much chewy malt.

Thanks to cbkschubert for the bottle - pours a fizzy, semi-hazy pale gold, but fails to kick up a head - strong noble hop aroma, bordering on skunky, but never quite getting there - rather strong, dry, grassy hops combine with crackery malts to create a nearly chalky, tongue-curling dryness - but somehow the strong hop profile makes this much less unpleasant than it sounds - however, there are other flaws - flavors of metal and pool water arrive late, detracting from the relative tastiness of the hops - man that is sad - oh well, another crappy organic beer.

bottle - Pours hazy yellow with very little head. It has a nice fruity, bread malt aroma. The flavor is bready malt sweetness and a decent hops level. The hops is just bitter without adding much complexity. This brew has a thin, watery palate and a lightly bitter finish. Lacking.

To me, a Hefe should be a medium yellow with a good bit of cloudiness. This was a thin yellow and very clear. It should also boast a tall, long lasting head and this one had a small head that disappeared almost immediately. Decaying citrus aroma that moves towards some clove. Dry finish to a thin, watery disappointing start. Very thin bodied for a Hefe.

Pours a rich amber-orange color with a medium and frothy off-white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of pine resin and hops. Medium body with a moderately bitter hoppy character that has notes of pine and citrus. Some malt in the background too. The finish is hoppy with caramel malt undertones, and a lightly spiced hops aftertaste. Above average overall, however it falls a little short in the IIPA distinction.
