Hacker-Pschorr Dunkle Weisse

Brewed by Paulaner Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Dunkelweizen
Munich, Germany

Pours hazy golden brown with thick white head. Aroma is fruity with some banana and bubblegum. Flavors are essentially the same. Not quite as flavorful as I would like, but pretty good stuff.

(swing top bottle) Hazy, amber colour with a fluffy light-beige foam. Slightly sourish and minimal toasty aroma with notes of banana combined with a present wheaty and quite strong clovy touch and a tinge of malty sweetness. Light-bitter and tart flavour with shades of acidity in the background. Toasty, slightly ashy taste with a moderate wheat-character, restrained fruity notes and almost harsh cloves towards the slightly bitter and faint acidic finish. Doesn´t work for me so well, otherwise a real toasty Dunkelweizen (30.IV.09).

Pours a murky brown orange with a very large off-white foamy froth on top. Sweet phenolic aroma, banana, crystalized brown sugar, clove. Bananas foster flavor, sweet and rich, lightly nutty, slightly metallic, nice light spiciness, a bit chewy though. Medium body, sugary with softer sizzling carbonation. A good beer but hard to tell its a dunkel.

12oz "dark wiesse" bottle thanks to 17thfloor. Cloudy light brown with medium pancake, creamy, beige head with lacing. Aroma is yeasty, light, nutty, wheat and caramel. Flavor is nutty, wheat, slight graininess, only a slight banana and clove. Medium body and light carbonation. A really tasty brew.

Bottled (from beerangel.de). Hazy nutbrown colour with big creamy beige head. Aroma is banana, some fruits and caramel malts along with some mild yeastyness. Flavour is banana, wheat, caramel malts, some nuttyness and also mild cheesy notes in the background. Tonguetickling carbonation, yet very smooth to drink.

500 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy brown with a large, foamy, clingy beige head that lasts. Has a lot of bubbles rising from the bottom. Taste is of yeast, wheat, fruit, spice and some banana. Similar aroma. Has a slight tingly mouthfeel, but has a thin body and is on the watery side. Very clean and easy to drink. Looks good, but the taste is rather disappointing. Not bad, but a forgettable beer.

Found this in Okinawa this past week. Pours out a dark murky brown with a rather large tan head to it. However, the head doesn’t last long and isn’t really satisfying, exciting at first but quick to let you down, probably just like your first teeth grinding experience with head when you and your lady were 15 or so. Aroama is the typical banana-clove combo you would find in most weisse beers. Flavor is sweet and yeasty, doughy, and hay-like. It was accented by a slight fruity flavor of plum. Not bad, but again not the best thing in the world.

Bottle of "Hacker-Pschorr Weisse Dark" which is the American alias, I would assume. Aroma is like a dry Bananas Foster. Quite banana-y in the flavor as well, with hints of clove on the finish. Well made and tasty.
