Tasting Notes and Review of Michelob Bavarian Style Wheat

Anheuser Busch keeps trying to grab a handful of the craft and imported beers market. In this case, they've taken a stab at the beloved Bavarian beer style, Hefeweizen. I give them an A for effort.

Pros

Cons

The nose presents notes of sweet banana. The beer pours pale yellow and cloudy. The head isn't nearly as thick as most unfiltered wheat beers. That and the average mouthfeel makes me wonder how much wheat is actually in this wheat beer. The flavor is very sweet with hints of bananas. There is none of the spiciness common among Hefeweizens. No detectable hops in the aroma or flavor.
