Hefeweizen by Tailgate Beer

Tailgate Beer, Hefeweizen: Style: American Wheat Ale, ABV 5.0%, 12oz Can


This is the first beer that I discussed that comes from a can and it is worth being the first. Normally I like to stick to beers brewed in the NW but at $4.99 a six pack I had to try this Wisconsin brew. When I poured my first beer I didn't even think snapping a picture or taking to the to smell it, I just didn't have hope for a can beer that cost less than a dollar each. In fact I didn't even waste time in cutting up a lemon. Then I took my first drink and realized that this beer was really good. In fact I liked it so much that I went back the next day and bought a case.
 
This beer goes down smooth with a mellow citrus flavor and a light mouthfeel. It's color orange and slightly darker than I'm use to but it has a nice haze with no settlement. The head is white and foamy but doesn't have long retention. Overall I think this is a perfect beer for tailgating, camping, or just hanging in the back yard.
