Samuel Adams: Hefeweizen

Sam Adams Hefeweizen pours a tan color with an average head. The beer is a little cloudy, but not as much as the White Ale. It leaves thick foam until the last gulp.

The label reads, "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."

The beer tastes good, but doesn't exactly set the world on fire. I can taste a little lemon in there, ad it gives the beer an overall fruity taste.

Sam Adams Hefeweizen might not be the best offering from the Boston Beer Company, but it is a good tasting beer made in the style of true German Hefes. I would recommend it to anyone looking to try new and different beers, but for the average fan I would not.

Sam Adams has many more beers that are a better pick up than this.
