16 oz can poured. Glad to see that this hefe met my simple hefe criteria. Make something that isn't like all the other American hefes. Soft cloudy golden pour. Oily fizz head. Fruity aroma, without an overly sweet impression. Flavor is more wheat forward than a fruit reminder. Smooth and refreshing throughout. Thicker body. Late lingering banana note. Good beer.

Can at home. Murky appearance. Not overly fruity which is nice as it is complementary. Refreshing and easy to drink.

Can. Pours a nice clear golden orange with a fizzy head and aromas of oranges, a bit of honey and a touch of pine. Flavor is decent. Oranges up front and resin in the finish. It comes across as a little malty/chewy for my IPA preferences, but it's a good one.

Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a crystal clear copper body that supports a thin thin light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up a blend of flowery floral hops, crystal malts, some citrus and a mild spicy breadiness. The taste delivers smooth malts and crystal malts rolling quickly into modestly bitter floral hops and citrus notes. It gets into faint breadiness and a sense of a rye twang into the finish. Pretty nice

12 oz. can. Appearance is a near clear golden color, slow carbonation level. Aroma is straw, grass, mild yeast. Flavor is a reflection. Cleaner finish. It is ok on a real hot day.

16 oz. can purchased at Total Wine & More, Phoenix Arizona. Cloudy straw pour with a medium sized fizzy white head. Huge spicy banana and bubblegum esters give way to unmalted wheat notes. Very typical of the style, nothing special going for it. However, it is spot on the style and made flawless.

Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a near clear gold body that supports a thin white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up cracker dusted blueberry, faint pink grapefruit and just noticeable peach. The taste delivers a blend of bitter pink grapefruit and blueberry and then sliding into more and more extract tasting blueberry. Decent.

Pint can pours with a clear amber to light mahogany colored body that supports a nice tan head of foam. The modest aroma offers up malts, a rye malt sort of spicy hop sensation and then a thin malt driven sweet smelling nuttiness. The taste delivers smooth sweet malts and thin sweet nuttiness bumping up against spicy to woody hop bitterness. This attains a pleasing balance and depth with plenty going on. I can do more of this.
