Hacker-Pschorr Edelhell

Brewed by Paulaner Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Munich, Germany

Huge offwhite creamy lasting head with coarseish froth on top. Yellow body. Light, clean fruity malty peppery aroma. Dry-sweet peppery malty taste with fruity herbal notes. Light, incredibly clean, and refreshing. Light acidity. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry earthy peas and malts aftertaste. Very light all the way through with faint minty notes. Very, very good. (0.2l cask at der Pschorr, München.)

aroma of bananas and maybe coriander. very thin white head, hazy gold body with lots of carbonation. good lacing. This kind of reminds me of a pale lager and a wheat beer and I like it! If it wasn’t for the fact that it reminds me of a wheat or white I would say it’s a bland pale lager but as I say it’s a bit more. Very easy to drink has a bit of a dry finish. I would try this again. I’m more of a dark beer and a bitter fan but this stuff has won me over.

Thin white head, light amber, faint nose of esters. Banana, malting cereal, mild carbonation, smooth, sweet, slight suggestion of alcohol at the finish. Rather uninteresting, but dirinkable.l

500 ml bottle - pours very clear gold with almost a greenish tint; good, thick white head. Aroma crisp and sweet, a bit of skunk, but definitely not as much as some other Euro-lagers I’ve had. There’s a nice mild bready aroma under that though, which makes me think this would smell superb fresh, on tap. Nice hop balance in the nose as well. Smooth and grainy in the mouth, with a finish that verges on cloying, but doesn’t quite go there. Full-bodied and thick. This is a beer that is meant to be served up much like the label shows, but a trip to Munich is a bit out of my price range and the bottle was under three bucks, so for now, the bottle it is.

Jan. 2006 - Light colored pour with nice head and lacing. Aroma and flavor were light and crisp with some malty/fruity sweetness with the right amount of bite from the hops that made this well balanced and enjoyable.

[756-20071013] Tap @ West 50 (Mississauga, ON). Very faint yeast aroma. Clear, light brown yellow body with a quick foamy white head. Banana yeast malt flavour. Medium body. Nice balance.

Golden color with a thin white head. The taste is very light and watery. You can also taste some malt. This would be a good beer to have on a hot summer day.

0.5L bottle, 5.5% a/v Brilliant gold pour with a decent white head. The nose is dominated by citrusy hops, with some grass notes as well. Taste is very malty for what the nose led me to beleive, but this then leads into a nice crisp malt finish. Very nice from start to finish, a full mouthfeel and a great lingering hop taste. Not a bad beer at all!
