Aroma: Spicy, anise/clove. First taste: The bottle label only said "wheat beer", but upon first taste....surprise, Hefe Weizen. Very rich, thick, and sweet with traditional "clovey" spice taste. Overall: My full disclosure is that I am not the biggest fan of the hefe weizen style.It's my prejudice against overally flavored brews, esp in a style that's typically intended for the summer months. But, this brew won me over with another surprise. After drinking a bottle, I logged into New Glarus's website and found out the alcohol level was 7.2%. Wow, couldn't detect that because of the tremedous balance. I have nothing but respect for New Glarus Brew Co, both for the skill they bring to their craft and their business model. So, I hate it that I don't totally love this beer, but it did grow on me. My issue is that it's like eating a rich, sweet pastry on a 90 degree day. But, this is a very artful take on a distinctive german style. If you love the Hefe weizen style, you will love this beer.

Pours two finger thick white foam, with medium retention. Lacing continues up and down the glass as I drank the beer.
The aroma is full of wheat. There is also the normal Hef eclove and banana. Definitely has a stronger wheat aroma than most Hefes.
The flavor is very wheaty with some following clove and banana. There is a good blend of flavors from beginning to end. The mouthfeel is medium and the carbonation is medium.
Overall this beer is quite good. As mentioned, it has more wheat, up-and-down, then most Hefes. This is a great candidate for sessioning. Enjoy!
