“Limit”-less sunny-hazed Bavarian wheat ale drapes herbal lemongrass-ginger-chamomile accents across mildly tart lemon zest and muted banana-clove-vanilla sweetness. Dry citric spritz tingles light wheat biscuit backbone. Tertiary apple and pear undertones flutter. Pliable herbal nature may put off more restrictive or sensitive hefeweizen palates.

(NO LABEL) EL HEFE WEIZEN
Stylistic banana-clove frontage picks up modest lemon-peeled orange zest over light herbal smidgen and black peppered Belgian-inspired yeast funk. Soft honeyed wheat bed sweetens the back end of fairly sufficient German-styled moderation.
KARBACH WEISSE VERSA WHEAT
Busy hybridized hefeweizen/ witbier in a can offers sour lemon-peeled orange rot and sugary coriander spicing to ascending banana-clove sweetness. Honeyed wheat malting and light vanilla sprinkling gain footing against contrasted white-peppered herbage and terse lemon-pitted bittering. Minor aspirin astringency negates some enjoyment.
ETTALER BENEDIKTINER WEIZEN
On tap at Bronx Alehouse, softly creamed hefeweizen plies mild doughy sugaring to expectant banana-clove-bubblegum triumvirate and tingly butterscotch notch. Zesty lemon spritz and dried orange-peach fruiting offer tertiary smidge. An easygoing moderation.
(SAND CREEK) LILYA’S HEIFER WEIZEN
Finely hybridized ‘Wisconsin Farmhouse Wheat Beer’ blends herbaceous white-peppered Belgian ale yeast with sweet banana-cloved German hefeweiss. Sharp-spiced lemon hop salting pierces banana breaded midst to gentle harvest-grained pale wheat bottom.
SIXPOINT APOLLO
On tap at Julian’s Restaurant, vivacious sessionable moderation brings lemony banana-clove goodness to carbolic lime-dried spritz and sugary crystal malting. Brisk lemon zest brightens tart apricot-peach supplement. Honeyed wheat spine provides additional sweetness to summery delight.
NESHAMINY CREEK HIGHWATER HEFEWEIZEN
Sweet ‘n sour bruised banana tartness picks up expectant clove-coriander spicing, but coarse white-peppered hop bittering and vodka-burnt alcohol kick make musky German wheat styling a tad peculiar. Tangy lemon liming tingles the sturdy honeyed white wheat spine.
LONERIDER SHOTGUN BETTY HEFEWEIZEN
(MOTHER EARTH) SUNNY HAZE HEFEWEIZEN
Dank straw-cleared canned German wheat ale suffers from funky compost waft, rotten orange musk and metallic snip. Soured lemon spritz overruns subdued banana-clove expectancy and alkaline acidity ruins bubblegum finish.
OLDE HICKORY HEFEWEIZEN
REVIVAL ZEPPELIN HEFEWEIZEN
Usual banana, clove and coriander suspects receive sharply attenuated lemon-pitted orange rotting. Creamy banana daiquiri sweetness and delicate pineapple tropicalia contrast briny peppery hop spicing. Just a smidgen beyond strict hefeweizen boundaries.
SCHLAFLY HEFEWEIZEN
Horrid unfiltered lightweight never makes the cut. Absolutely no hefeweizen-styled banana-clove influence appears, making pale-yellowed suds closer to a lemony soft-grained American wheat beer instead. Washed-out mineral grained astringency and raw maize acridity dispel watery wheat-starched fluff.
