Hacker-Pschorr (Hefe) Weisse

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

Bottle poured a white head with a hazy gold body. Smells of yeast and dirt. Flavor is yeast, dough, tart. Some fruit and spice on the finish.

Bottle. Pours hazy golden with a frothy white head. Aroma and flavour of wheat, banana and citrus. Medium bodied with banana and spice in the finish. Pleasant beer.

Bottle from The Beer Authority, bright aroma and pours a hazy golden color with a medium fizzy head. Classic weisse beer taste with a tartness and clove notes. Pleasent beer for a sunny day.

Bottle. Pours a hazy light amber with a one finger white head. The nose is wheat and grainy grass. The taste is light spice, wheat and grain. Medium prickly mouthfeel. Interesting hefe in both taste and appearance. Not bad though.

Had in a 0.5L bottle from Coop Liquor Calgary, AB. A classic German hefe. Pour of hazy golden orange with a medium sized foamy white head. Aroma is fruity with hints of banana and some spiciness. The taste is rather uneventful, but there is mild spiciness and nice refreshing wheat beer flavour. Overall, very impressive and drinkable beer.

Funny, before I actually tried any German beer I always had the impression it would be dark, strong and harsh. But now I know better, and I’ve come to understand the festive nature of a good German beer. This medium-full bodied brew comes off like a celebration of a good harvest and the anticipation of another fine year. It’s made me listen to polka music in an entirely different way.

Hazy light gold color, with a white head that lasts throughout the drinking experience. Taste is rather boring and uneventful - yeast, wheat, some spiciness. Drinkable, but not particularly enjoyable. Forgettable.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Starts strong, fine fruity, notes of banana. The finish a bit weaker, a bit dry. Still a good hefeweizen!
