Hefe weizen: 5.5 – Surprisingly malty for a hefeweizen, but the wheat and hefe style are still prevalent. The aftertaste though has a bit of what feels like wet grass/wheat? that’s not great, but a fine effort overall.
Price Average: $12 for 6-pack

I Love Lamp: 5.0 – If you came here signed up for pineapple, you are at least in luck – it is there. However the initial taste of the beer with it’s muted spices feels more like an ale mixed with pineapple juice. It’s not great almost like a nothing beer despite this flavor, but it does give way to a classic pineapple aftertaste. The main problem is that those who like pineapple alot will be disappointed alongside those who like beer – should be fun for a BBQ sauce though.

Edelstein Hefeweizen: 5.0 – Decided to try out another new and super local brewery to the site (sorry literally everyone not in the North East) You aren’t missing out on much though, because this beer is decidedly serviceable. It’s not outright bad, it’s easy enough to drink, and it has a bit of spice, but fails to impress.

R&R Hefeweizen: 6.0 – The wheat aspects here are the shining point. That being said there’s that metallic like taste and overall easy to drink, but not easy to flavor.
Price Average: $11 for 4-pack

Warthog Wheat Hefeweizen: 8.0 – It’s a bit more like an octoberfest but it’s nicely spiced and really tasty. They mention clove and that is likely the culprit behind the spice – so beware if you’re not a fan of cloves.

Long Daze: 6.0 – Another solid beer from bbc, especially for their budget price.
Google Shop Average: Long Daze $5
Wormtown Brewery Mass Whole Hefeweizen Ale: 6.0 – Going a bit local this week. Fairly standard Hefeweizen, but the bit of clove and banana give it a more Fall spice kind of feeling than a summer citrus type of beer. Very good for a late-summer beer.
(from Boston.com, normally if we lack image we just take from their site, but no good pics.)

Gordon Biersch Hefeweizen: 7.5/10 – This is just what a light Hefeweizen should be. The carbonation and variety of flavors going on here is really well done. The wheat though doesn’t hide and complements the rest of the flavors. Certainly my favorite offering from Gordon Biersch
