    The appearance on this is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. The aroma contains some bananas, lemons, and bready notes. The flavor contains more bananas, lemons, some biscuit going on. The palate is a bit thin. Overall a nice session beer at a not session beer price.

    Courtesy of one my Wisconsin beer buds - pfoxyjohn. Pours a musky yellow with a quickly vanishing frothy head and some lacing. Some carbonation. Aromas of sweet ripe fruits, some wheat and creamy goodness. Taste is smooth and rich for a hefe with a sweet wheat base then a banana-clove taste and some wheats/malts. A good hefeweizen.

    pours hazey straw yellow body, cloudy big fluffy head and a silky mouthfeel. not overly wheat flavored but still unique and an overall decent beer.

    Hazy yellow with a large, soft, creamy white head and good carbonation. A mild fruit and grain nose. Fresh wheat and spice flavors with reserved fruit. A good domestic hefe, refreshing and satisfying, but not great -- therefore just a bit of a disapointment from Sprecher; not that it's going to stop me from drinking a lot of these this summer.

    Judging not simply as a Hefe Weiss, but as a domestically brewed Hefe, and in that category, I'd say it stands out. Cloudy, unfiltered pale golden hue with a bright white head leaving minimal lacing. Fragrance approaches what I'd expect in a Hefe, malty and fruited. Flavor has notes of banana and clove, and finish is mildly hopped. Refreshing, and at only $1.40/pint, a great value. May I have another please? (oops, no, that was my only one)

    Poured a cloudy, orange yellow color with a medium sized, white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of light banana, vanilla, buttercream, and a bit of sulphur. Taste of more banana, and light caramel malts, tart citrus, and some light, buttery, toffeeness.

    Poured a hazy yellow honey color with alarge head, the aroma hit me before tasting good flavor, left a slight thick taste in my mouth, overall not bad for a wheat beer, after drinking it the feeling in my mouth was coated by something not pleasat.

    most of my experience with hefeweisen's is mostly restricted to macro-brewery hefe's at the grocery store. this blows them all away hands down. much more flavor and body. a much better head than any of those. a great hefe

    This Hefeweizen pours a hazy light orange gold color from a 16oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is banana and clove, wheat and spices. A medium bodied German Hefeweizen. Malts are fruity and sweet, with lots of banana and clove flavors. In fact there are a whole lot of fruit esters in this beer. The yeasts seem a little bright, almost Belgian in nature. Nut that could just be an effect of the all that sweetness. A little too sweet for my liking, but a smooth tasting, easy drinking Hefe. Nice carbonation. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

    Pours a slightly cloudy gold with a very small head. Aroma is nice and light with oranges with a hint of cloves. The taste is oranges and a touch of banana. A solid hefeweizen. As good of a wheat beer I have had that was made in the US.
