Comments
Disappointing
Pours a pale golden yellow, lots of bubbly head in the pour that fades rather quickly.
Nose is primarily malt, with some subtle sweetness and a little earthy and floral hop aroma. Not very Hefe-ish
The pale malts are strong in the taste, along with some slight sweetness and little bitterness. Wheat flavors are surprisingly low. Aftertaste is moderately long.
Very light body and low carbonation. Feels slightly flat in the mouth.
Leinenkugel's Honey Weiss sounds like a nice twist on the standard wheat beer, but is more of a disappointment if you're a wheat beer fan. The bottle recommends adding a little citrus to bring out more flavor - maybe that would help.
