I have no idea when this beer was retired, but I know it’s been sitting in my beer refrigerator for at least 6 months. Maybe a year. Not the freshest obviously, but it’s a beer and it’s hot outside.

Not really much to say about it. It pours out a light orange/yellow color, bright white head with a cloudy body. Aroma is lightly musty lemon rind, a bit of cracker and a hint of banana. All very muted though. Body is lightly sweet, overripe/mushy pears, wet paper..blech.

Hmm, spicy hefe. Pours an unfiltered straw color with a decent head that doesn't last very long and leaves no lace. Smells very spicy and inviting. Apple-cinnemon comes to mind, even though I can't spell it. < smirk > Taste is typical wheat with some nice spices going on. Apple and apricot seem to be floating around. Mouthfeel is sharp with a hint of mineral feel there. Very nice for a hefe. Drinkability is good as this is one of the better hefes I've had.

Light gold color, large head, slightly cloudy. A light bodied wheat beer, mild malts and hops. Lot of flavor. A hint of Banana and clove adds to the fruitiness. Mouthfeel is round. Finish is smooth and clean. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. Clean and refreshing.

This pours a bright gold with a little haze and a small white head. There are oranges, flowers and grass in the aroma. This tastes like oranges and yeast. This wheat is not special.

Poured into the glass its an attractive cloudy light orange..tiny head that goes fast. For an American "hefe" this aroma is terrific..all the banana, spice and fruitiness..with a nice sour wheat smell..very nice. MM also a nice tasting hefe..all the above with a hint of cloves..slightly bitter finish. Very good on the palate An exceptionally drinkable American style Hefe..excellent in the sun. This has to be the best American shot at the style..the brewer at macTarnahan's is askilled craftsman.
