Pours a mildly hazy, golden color with a fluffy, white, medium sized head, with decently good head retention and lacing vaguely present. The aroma is a good scented beer though lacking as pronounced aromas. The most dominant aroma was that of hops, bread malts and notes of banana vaguely present. The taste has flavors are full and robust as to be expected, banana is the most dominant taste, followed with a decent blend of malt and hop as well as cloves and spice. The mouthfeel is fairly smooth and with crisp aftertaste, medium bodied beer.

Not like the typical European Hefs. I'd say more like a cross of that and an American Wheat. Not as cloudy, less yeasty, and perhaps some more hops. That banana flavor is still there, a main trait of this style. Smoother than most Hefs, which is probably due to less wheat like the American wheats. I enjoyed this one that was bundled in the summer variety pack...refreshing and almost in the same family as their Road Trip and Pilz.

A bold orange-yellow in color with a VERY big frothy textured, white head rising robustly above. There's great hang time on the head. It settles eventually into a thick lacing. A nice nose of light citrus and yeasty malt. More dominate citrus with spices in a yeast-bready malt base. Effervescent and refreshing.

Hooray for new beers! This one from BNBBQ. Great Zeus almighty there is a lot of foam on this. One big healthy hiss as the cap comes off and several inches of frothy, rocky foam that leaves a heavy smear of thick lace on the glass. Very cloudy yellow in color. Aroma is citrus zest and yeast. Flavor is more of the same. Very light and crisp. Refreshing and delicious. A great hefe for a good cause. Well done Sweetwater! and thanks again, Louis!

Bomber from Bearden Beer Market: slightly hazy straw yellow pour with a frothy and bubbly sustained white head and chunky lacing. God carbonation. Yeasty and bready aroma upfront with a background of light lemons and earthy hops. Tasty critter too: again bready and definitely yeasty upfront with aforementioned lemons and citrus undertones and light spicy earthy hops. Nice effort from SweetWater and for a very good cause. Good summer hefe - will buy more!

Strong aroma is wheaty and yeasty with a sweet lemon undertone. It pours a clear yellow, not inspiring though the white head is thick and fluffy and leaves a little lacing. Flavor is crisp and wheaty with yeasty and citrus undertones, the latter mainly lemon with a whisper of orange. Texture is smooth and tingly, leaving a nice yeasty and summery finish. Not Sweetwater’s best, but it’s for a great cause. Bottoms up for the "Hooch"!
