Hacker-Pschorr (Hefe) Weisse

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

Drank on tap from Phil’s in Saugatuck with an orange slice on the side of the glass. Poured a cloudy haze with a small head and smelled great. Great taste that I would expect from a wheat beer with some strong banana flavor. Refreshing and smooth, I thought that this was a great example of a hefeweizen and I would definitely drink it again if I had the opportunity.

Cloudy orange colour, head is persistant. Mostly yeast, wheat and banana. A bit of wheat acidity, somewhat metallic taste at first but it goes away after a few sips. Whole wheat bread finish.

on tap at the Oasis in Rockford. a sweet flavor but one I didn’t care for. I kept wondering what the specific taste was. Not one of my favorite wheats. Leinenkugel sunset wheat and honey weisse are much better.

nice beer for the spring and fall. typical german style wheat beer with the clove taste. a bit overdone as the banana and lemon citrus attempt to invigorate. body could be better as you have the wheat from which to start. still thinnish and tinny. good weiss and ok beer. does not seem particlarly refreshing or particularly satisfying.

Slight, very orange, citrus smell. Light caramel color with no debris. Smooth solid flavor with a trail of fruit. Very refreshing with a neat aftertaste, clean and smooth.

one of my fav german hefes. a joy to pour with the thick white head, amazing retention, love the BIG roma of banana and esters. flavour is crisp, one of my all time fav summer patio beers.

Bottle. Pours cloudy orange-gold with fizzy white head. The aroma is banana, zest, maybe some lemon cookies, and a little bit of butter. The flavor is identical to the aroma, no surprises here. Crisp finish, fruity aftertaste.

Tap. Very full bodied, yeast, wheat and citrus. Even a touch of sweet on the finish. Great combination, and still one of my favorite Hefeweizen.
