Pours clear topaz with a good eggshell head. Aroma offers sweet pomme and raw malt character. Flavor features raw malt, sweetish fruit, and a bit of lemon for a mouthful of summer - great on a chilly day. Smooth mouthfeel has firm body and fair fizz. Send in the beer!

Hazy light-golden colour with a small white cap and minimal lacing. Citrus aromas over grainy malts and wheat. The taste is also citrusy, with some light sourness over light cereal grain and spices. Was expecting a sweet heavy Hefeweizen, but seem like an easier drinking citrus-spiced ale.

Pours a hazy golden, almost orange-tinted body. A white head recedes quickly to a few patches of wisp. No lacing. The aroma is of malt sweetness, faint orange citrus. The taste begins with a malty backbone, with citrus and tanginess around it. Pretty bright finish, really tart. The mouth feel is really bright and carbonated and medium bodied.

A hazy yellow body with a touch of bronze, veryy little head a spot or two of lace. Aromas of hay and musty lemons, ok mouthfeel. Flavor a bit better than the aroma with a bit of banana and a tiny bit of spice coming through.

Cap says, "The Urge to Create is Always Great." Good. "Unfiltered and Unfettered." I like that, too. "Cloudy by nature, like Burlington itself." OK. Pours a cloudy orange color, with a very tall white head and loads of lace. Banana esters are subdued by a strong lime aroma. "Rouse gently to release full flavor." Good, but not quite up to the bold, self-proclamation: "THE HEFEWEIZEN!"

I can't believe this has such a low style score. I've had it many times before and didn't realize I hadn't reviewed it until now. A little cloudy. Has a pretty normal banana and lemony wheat aroma and flavor to it.

Pours a slightly hazed light caramel gold, great head, good lacing too .. . cardboard and grain in the nose mostly .. . house! house! house! house! flush! flush! .. . medicinal notes upfront- light grain, banana skin and light sweet lemongrass follow, some soap too.. . definitely not the best wheat i've had and i could enjoy this just as a refreshing summer quaffer but the slight off flavours/aromas kill this for me .. . .. .

Get the hell outta here! Ever see a guy say good-bye to a shoe?

Yes, once.

Sampled in the Spring '11 Variety Pack. Not the best Hef in the world, but not the worst either. So I guess that makes it about average. Just can't get that super-smooth beer yet from Magic Hat, so finding that it is what it is with them. I'll say it again, but finding Sammy Adams better across the board for each style. This is something I could pass on in the future.

A cloudy, golden yellow colored beer. A small, fuzzy textured, white head rises all too briefly. Does leave a thick, soapy ringlet and waves of film that try to adhere to the sides of the glass. Interestingly, I get the boldest whiff of bananas as I pour this one from the bottle. Once in the glass the bananas are replaced by the grass and wheat in the nose. The wheat is most dominate in the tasting. As I drink more I get a little bit more of the bananas I first detected while pouring. A medium bodied, well carbonated beer. I liked this one.

Pours a dark cloudy orange with an orange and banana aroma, however faint. Mild maltiness and pleasant citrus tones throughout. Slight head - nice lacing. I skinned this one back after work today thanks to bluesand barbq.
