Tap, with a damn orange slice deep in the glass, without even asking. Pours pretty hazy, almost cloudy golden, small off white head, creamy with good lacing. Minus a tenth for involuntary oranges. Aroma is light, no real hef attributes. Hints of wheat, light citrus that may well come from the slice. Unbelievably bland. Flavor is light sweet, minimal bitterness. Inoffensive, but really nothing going on at all

Draft. An unclear golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and lemon as well as lighter notes of wheat. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and wheat as well as lighter notes of bread and lemon, leading to a dry wheaty finish.

On tap. Pours an opaque orangey golden with an off-white head. Discreet fruit notes in the aroma, but neither banana, citrus or yeast. Medium body, lightly sweet fruit and a whiff of yeast. The finish is dry with no bitterness. Drinkable but completely bland and nowhere near a Hefe. 250709

From tap at the alehouse in Pleasanton. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is mild hops fruity and subdued wheaty estery. Sweet fruity and mild wheaty flavoured. Light citric touch. Fruity hoppy finish, sweet.
