Today I was over at Sine’s Irish Pub in Pentagon Row (Arlington) for a military promotion ceremony and party.  I was also heading over to a party at a friend’s house and what beer did they both have on tap?  The Widmer Hefewizen.  I thought it only appropriate to roll in, sample some at both locations, and provide my feedback.

I like this Hefe.  It has all of the characteristics you expect from a nice German-style wheat beer — it hit the spot considering it was nice and warm today.  Is it the greatest Hefe? No.  Is it drinkable + affordable.  Yes.  Of course, if you are going to drink a Hefeweizen … my opinion is to go with the experts … the Germans.  But, if this is what’s available and  you are craving a Weizen … it works!

Oh, and I was happy to see the tap lines at Sine’s were clean!  Yes!
