 Hefeweizen
Hefeweizens are often lower in alcohol and lighter in flavor and body than more mainstream German lagers - qualities that have made them popular with more health-conscious Germans.

It is the heart of hefeweizen, the origin of all those wild aromas.

 Boston’s Weekly Dig: Eats & Drinks: The Hefeweizen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Hefeweizens are generally highly carbonated brews, and when poured, these magnificent beers should be cloudy (from the higher proteins contained in wheat malt), pale gold to a spectrum of amber shades and with an almost-on-the-verge-of-overflowing, meringue-like crown (thick, stiff, foamy and creamy).
German Hefeweizens are barely touched with hops as not to bring harshness to the delicate balance of esters and phenols (fruity fusel alcohol and a medicinal by-product), and the fermented wheat flavor.
The majority of Hefeweizen drinkers embrace this presentation, as there is something about the puckering tartness of a fresh cut lemon slice in a German Hefeweizen or American Wheat that sooths that summer heat away.

 hefeweizen
Bavarian-style Hefeweizen, fruity and spicy; American wheat, light and refreshing; and myriad fruit beers served at America's brewpubs are just a small sampling of the different incarnations of wheat beer.
The traditional Bavarian wheat beer, known as "Hefeweizen," (which literally means, “yeast wheat”) "Weiss," (translates to “white”) or even "Weisse," (again, “white”) is typically deep gold to ruddy orange in color, hazy, highly carbonated, and rich with the aroma of bananas and clove.
These beers are sometimes marketed under the moniker “Hefeweizen,” but since they taste nothing like a true Weizenbier, this appellation serves only to confuse the consumer.

 The Brew Site: The Widmer Hefeweizen press kit
Yesterday I received a large package from the PR firm Edelman, the occasion being Widmer's rollout of their new packaging for their flagship Hefeweizen.
As impressed as I was with the Heineken press kit, I think this one takes it up a notch: not only did I get an entire six-pack of Hefeweizen, but also two of their "Perlsee" glasses, a lemon, the carrier (with the new design), and a bookmark with directions on how to pour Hefeweizen.
I don't know if Widmer is planning on giving all their brews the new package treatment or not (though I suspect they'll wait and see the results of the Hefeweizen run), but I think it would work nicely.
