(can) - Pours large white head. Body is a cloudy dark golden. Light pineapple aroma. Flavor of pineapple, and a bitter hop character which seems a bit much for s Hefeweizen.

Wheat oh wheat, one of my favorite styles, especially unfiltered. I haven’t tasted this one yet because of a few ratings I read here about UFO. It was a wheat, right out there on the shelf so I grabbed it, couldn’t loose and besides, I like hefe. Brown 12 oz bottle, when you crack the lid it has a solid clean sour-like wheat beer aroma. Pours like a lively wheat beer, nice steams of carbonation. Some stuff left on the bottom of the bottle. Slightly cloudy, lemony brown color. Starts with a hint of bitterness then it is quickly overrun by delicate creamy tingling. I don’t really see any UFOs in there swirling around like other unfiltered brews. Yes it does have some of the off wheat characteristics of american hefes but it straightens out and behaves itself once you have a few sips. Pretty enjoyable and repeatable. Finish has a quick tacky bite that fades rapidly with not offensive bitter aftertaste. Better than arcadia whitsun. On par with shiner and sam adams. Good beer without fruit.

Medium size rocky white head. Hazey (not near hazey enough) light gold color. Malty , corny nose. Med/thin body.Corny slightly fruity flavor. Finish is medium sweet and friggin pastey. Harpoon strikes again!

Definitely an American wheat and not a true hefe. Wheat, grain and citrus are the dominant players in the flavor and aroma. Pretty mediocre across the board - just didn't do anything for me.

Pours a very light, hazy yellow-straw color with a small head that dissipates instantly with nice lacing. The aroma is wheat, citrus, and lemon citrus. The taste is caramel, wheat, citrus, and pale malts with a bitter aftertaste and an alcohol bite. The mouhfeel is light body with medium carbonation.

Pours out pale yellow with a very small white head. Slight wheat smell, not alot to it. Flavor is similar, just not alot going on here. Nothing special to see here.

Super Bowl 2010. Cloudy pale yellow pour. Mildly citrus aroma. Fruity, but with some off type flavors...and a bit watery and thin as well. Really not the best hefeweizen. I’m glad I only drank half.

Purchased on my trip to Nashville, Best by 09.15.10 stamped on the neck of the bottle. Pours a cloudy golden-beige with an orange hue. Its head is white, frothy, above-average lasting and has good lacing. Wheat nose with lots of lemon zest to it. Medium-light bodied with a little stick to it. Mild wheat and citrus taste, not offensive, but to please more of a mass-market of summer drinkers.

Part of the "Wintry Mix" 12 pack. The unfiltered wheat's aroma is wheat, weak on lemon, and no bananas. Little to no head. Cloudy golden color. Light body. Flavor is about like the aroma, "weak", but it leaves a bitter aftertaste. I've much better wheat beers.

Part of the Summer Vacation 12 Pk. Pours a slightly hazy pale yellow with some head and little lacing. Some carbonation. Aromas of wet, sweet wheat, some malts, and wet cardboard - NO noticeable banana or clove like the good hefes impart. Taste is a little like wet grass and wheat with a slight sweet maltiness. Disappointing.
