Hacker-Pschorr (Hefe) Weisse

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

Pours super foamy white head and clear orange color. Very very doughy aroma and taste. Some banana and lemon zest as well. Had this and paulaner weise within a day of one another and paulaner was much much better. If you have the similar choice, pass on this one.

Cloudy gold with very good, foamy white head / Light nose of citrus and spice / Medium body, watery, with fast fading finish / Weak flavors of orange, banana, and spice / Mediocre.

Before trying this beer, Franziskaner was probably my favorite wheat beer. The Hacker-Pschorr poured cloudy orange with a thick, white head. Super flowery-sweet aroma with a hint of tropical fruits that really gets me excited to taste this beer. The flavor lives up to the aroma’s billing- fabulous, complex and fruity, I tasted some trace apple along with the strong banana/lemon flavor that dominates the beer. This is probably the best hefeweizen I’ve ever had, the more I drink it the more it grows on me. Update (06.28.08) - Really fantastic, satisfying brew. Anybody asking for a summer beer? This is your beverage. Far and away the best hefeweizen I’ve ever had- the little things raise it above and beyond Paulaner. Try it

Pours a hazey orange body with a huge white head. sweet fruity aromas of bannana peaches and honey. a well carbonated mouthfeel which is very plesent.

This hefe has too little orange and coriander, and too much sugar and alcohol in the aroma. Nice cloudy orange color. Big white frothy head. The start shows a lot of promise but as I drink I feel like the deep complex hefeweizen flavor is missing. The finish is the same way. Just a little lacking. Still not a bad beer. I’d just choose a different one, like Franziskaner, if I had the choice.

12oz bottle; pours a cloudy tan color, taste of wheat, barley and perhaps some apples, very good

Smells a bit coppery, with a bit of yeast and citrus aromas. Huge white rocky head that significantly diminishes but stays tight on top of the beer throughout the glass and leaving a little lace. The beer is a hazy yellow, much like the typical hefe. Taste is a little different from the typical hefe, there is certinally some clove & spice flavors but the bananna is not really very present. This has a light but livley hop character with some citrus flavors.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow-orange with a large diminishing frothy white head. Aroma and flavour of banana, citrus and more fruit, yeast, wheat and light spices. Light bitter finish. Both aroma and flavour are mild. Average bodied. Nothing amazing or anything, just a simple pleasant Hefe.
