Sweaty Betty Hefeweizen: Will It Give Us The Hots?

Jeff

Sweaty Betty Blonde is an incredibly light and refreshing beer. Described as having hints of banana and clove, I could definitely detect the subtle spice from the clove, and the banana lends it a nice mellow sweetness- fruity, but not too fruity.

This is a great summer beer, with a subtle smell and a very clean finish. As Haley pointed out, it's "very chuggable".

This beer would be great to accompany an outdoor barbecue and the only thing that stops it from being prefect in my book is it is a bit one-note. However, I would still heartily recommend it.

Let me start with what I do like. The color combo here is one of my personal favorites. They are bright and summery which does match what's inside. Apart from that though, I don't love this design.

"Sweaty Betty" sounds very sexy to me but this does not convey that. It's just part of a face, with eyes that are big and vacant. Where's the sexiness? Where's the allure? Where's the SWEAT?

The font and bits of graphics swirls around the top and bottom of the label look almost vaguely Egyptian, especially with the shape of the Ts in the font. Overall the graphics have a bit of a clip art feel to them- cheap looking, without a clear point of view.

While the colors are eye catching, this design doesn't live up to its evocative name and doesn't make me want to reach for it when I need refreshment.
