Hacker-Pschorr Sternweisse

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

Fantastic wheaty aroma, slight carbonation visible. A bit thinner than expected but still an enjoyable beer.

500ml flip top bottle: poured hazy orange with a big off white head. Mild banana nose with slight hops. Flavor is light wheat and yeast with a bit of banana and slight spice. Somewhat dry and moderately bitter finish. Kind of watery also. Decent but there are better weizens.

Bottled (BB 03/2008)
Hazy copper-nut brown color, big creamy and cloudy head. Sweet banana fruity nose. Bitterish, even sour, wheaty flavor. Acidic with banana and toasted sugary notes. Watery mouthfeel, especially in the finish.

Dark golden, hazy with a nice head. The aroma has notes of banana and spice, but is not very strong. The flavour is a bit stronger, and has the same notes and a balanced sweetness. Not outstanding, but nice.

Bottled 50cl. It pours a hazy orange beer with a white head. Aroma of malt and yeast. Decently spicy and rather metallic. Banana. Lots of cloves in the taste, pretty grainy and malty. Bubblegum-like features. The finish is vinous and dry. Good.

A cloudy dark orange coloured beer with a thin white head. A strong wheaty nose, clove spice, peppery, a little sweet caramel, then the banana-like fruitiness as expected. dry wheaty taste, and a little sour. There is a spicy flavour of clove and pepper, the fruit element is only a background hint. (Bottle - purchaed from Trinkmarkt Fleischmann, Neufahrn bei Freising, Germany).

Bottled. Pretty dark for a hefeweizen, being a light brown colour. Has a slim off white head in addition. The aroma has banana and a little caramel or toffee. The taste has more of the same. Some bubblegum notes also. Pretty decent body.

Bottled. Hazy golden orange colour, small white head. Aroma is wheat, malts and slight fruityness. Also lots of banana. Flavour is bananas, some spices and grassy. An alternative hefe-weizen as for the big spicyness.
