Overall, it's an easy drinkin' & refreshing summer brew. With the neutral ale yeast, you really get the flavors of the wheat coming through, which as best I can describe is like malty with a subtle spiciness and a bit of tanginess.
Probably one of the most available commercial examples of this style would be Widmer's Hefeweizen.

Bingo! - Widmer's is my favorite! I was very disappointed when I took a crack at making my own with Wyeast 3068. All I get is a chemical banana flavor. Do you swirl the pour to activate the yeast with your recipe?

Yeah, sometimes I would add in the yeast from the bottle into my glass, or sometimes not, depending on whether or not I wanted it yeasty. The S-05 yeast works well. There are also "American Wheat" strains available from White Labs: WLP320, and Wyeast: 1010. I've never used the 320 or 1010 before, but they are probably also worth a try.
