My grading scale

It is subjective, but I think you'll be able to understand where I'm coming from:

1-3 "Horrible" : NEVER BUY THIS!!!! (Or buy it just to see what crappy beer tastes like.)

4-5 "Ok" : These beers need a little work. Usually from a company known for another type of brew.

6-7 "Good": It's ok, for now.

8-9 "Great" : Try this at least once, you'll be happy you did :D

10!!!!! "Godly" = This is attainable, but the most subjective of all grades. If I ever give a beer a 10 it'll be because it blows your mind.

Sierra Nevada Kellerweis

"Kellerweis is one of the only American Hefeweizens made using the traditional Bavarian style of open fermentation. This difficult and labor-intensive technique adds uncommon depth and flavor complexity. Our hazy-golden hefeweizen is deeply flavorful, refreshing and perfect for a sunny day. To serve, pour two-thirds into a glass, swirl and pour the rest."

Nose, Head, Look - Epic wheat smell w/ strong clove smell.  Less orange than others but not a problem.  Fluffy head, lingers, strong.  Unfiltered makes me happy, and makes the beer that much more enjoyable.

Taste - Follows the head with its epic and very smart wheat, this s where the wheat taste should be.  Even less orange (I like orange) but no problem mostly because the clove is very nice.  Hops are the framework that allows the sweet wheat to be.

Rating =8
This is the wheat beer others should envoy.  My personal want is for more orange or lemon, but ultimately its strong wheat flavor makes your heart melt.
