COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Samuel Adams Hefeweizen has a traditional spin on a classic American craft brewing style. This crisp, fruity wheat ale is cloudy, because the yeast has not been filtered out. Bavarian Spalt hops give the ale a crisp elegance, that is not bitter and leaves a clean aftertaste. Cheers!

Above average beer. Nice wheat beer taste. Pours a hazy golden color with a thin white head. Very refreshing

Bottle pour into shaker pint glass. Appearance is lightly hazy, light orange-yellow with fair sparkle, finger-width, white foamy head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is banana, yeast, wheat. Taste is as aroma. Palate is light-to-medium bodied, with thin, frothy texture, soft-to-average carbonation and crisp finish as taste. Overall, not the boldest of flavors but the elements are there for the style.

Leighton (30699) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 12, 2018
Bottle at home in Canaan, NH. Pours unclear honey-gold with a modest, creamy white head. Doughy wheat in the nose, a little ripening tangerine. Medium sweet flavour, more doughy wheat bread, some sugar cookie, yeast. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Basic finish, yet more dough, low bitterness, mellow yeast expression, wheat flakes, nips of lemon peel. So sonovwrall. Drinkable.

Twelve ounce bottle from the Summer Sampler case purchased at Liberty Beer in Pittsburgh. More yeasty than necessary but otherwise a very good brew.

UPDATED: JUL 1, 2018 Such a smart beer. This American version somehow captures several german style weiss beer nuances with a cleaned up bubblegum twist

pdog555 (1419) - Connecticut, USA - JUN 27, 2018
UPDATED: JUN 27, 2018 Pours amber with a thick head. Lots of carbonation. Aroma is typical of a Hefeweizen, cloves and spices. Tastes strongly of bananas. Overwhelmingly actually. Palate is more complex than I would have guessed, cloves and nutmeg compliment the banana. Not a bad beer but the too-strong banana taste undercuts the upsides of this beer.

johnnnniee (6326) - Bedford, New Hampshire, USA - JUN 22, 2018
Bottle from the mixed case from BJ's Slightly hazy light golden with a bubbly white head. Light clove some banana and lots of bready maltiness with faint earthy spicy hops. Drinkable but too mainstream to be considered a German Hefe.

This is NOT a Hefeweizen. Samuel Adams brews some great beer but this is not one of them. Perhaps if it was called something else the consumer would not have an expectation of a proper Hefeweizen. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

UPDATED: JUN 1, 2018 The best thing I can say about this beer is that when I drank it it was free

damzz (804) - Methuen, Massachusetts, USA - MAY 24, 2018
Pours a clear yellow with a thick white head that leaves lacing. Nose is hef yeast and bubblegum. Taste is the same. Body is medium with bitterness in the aftertaste. 12 oz bottle BBY: 9/18
