I recently tried the Hefeweizen by Mission Street thanks to my wife Kiki who surprised me with a bottle.
Mission Street is, according to the bottle, brewed by Steinhaus Brewing Co. in Paso Robles, CA. According to the interweb its a contract beer brewed by Firestone Walker Brewing Co on behalf of Trader Joe's, and the internets never lie. The basics: it's 4.7% ABV, and is $1.99 for a 22 oz. bottle. To me this tasted like a typical hefe with a wheaty-yeasty flavor. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary. It has a medium body and a fairly short linger, and is heavier on the toffee and malty side of things. Hefenweizens are not my particular beer of choice, although I don't mind one every once in a while. For the money this beer is pretty good for a couple bucks.
