Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

On tap at a bar in the Philly airport. Amber gold with little head. Slight cloudiness but clear for a hefeweizen. No aroma. Flavor is very plain--slight lemon (not sure its from the beer or the lemon it was served with) and some grassiness. Better than macro pale lagers but not better than much else.
Bottle. Hazy yellow/gold with a bit of white head. Light aroma, fruity, tropical, clove, banana. Taste is fairly bland, light bodied. Not a terrible hefe but definitely a lot of room for improvement.
Sweet, wheaty, slightly citrus taste. Golden pour. No real smell. A bit thin, but not bad.
