Two Nerd Party

Brewer: Anheuser-Busch
Type: Belgian Hefeweisse
Rating: 7/10

Susi picked this out at the Spec's the other day, and I was pretty skeptical. This beer has a giant orange dude (not a dude who's orange, but a dude who's actually an orange) on the front, surrounded by wheat, with BELGIAN WHITE printed in big letters underneath. I'm not personally a fan of Belgians (the beer; as a whole I find Belgian people "charming and quaint"), nor am I a big fan of wheat beer. When I do find a hefe I like, I don't generally prefer it with a big slice of citrus sticking in its side. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I tasted this beer; it's got the thicker, bready taste that hefes sometimes do, but it also got an excellent flavor to follow it up. There's just a hint of hops (just the right amount), and possibly just a hint of citrus. Not at all the light, watery orange juice flavor I was expecting based on the label.
