Hacker-Pschorr Sternweisse

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

Enormous offwhite shiny head rises up, then lasts a long time. Body is clear reddish brown before I add the yeast. When I do it turns a cloudy darkish brown. Vinuous fruity banana wheat aroma with orangey metallic hop notes and some breadiness. Sweetish-dry delicate roasty yoghurty wooden banana wheat taste with acidic smoky notes. Soft astringent mouthfeel. Balanced and harmonic. Dryish orangey metallic hops with grassy spicy peppery notes. Excellent! One of the best weizens I’ve had. (0.5l bottle, Rewe, München.)

In the bottle from HyVee CB. Pours a fantastic hazy and cloudy dark brown with a thick off white head. Intense banana aromas and a great malty caramel flavor with a thin acid-like tartness to the finish.

Wheat and banana aroma. Low carbonation. Thick and sweet, true to style. I really like the thick and heavy palate. Standard flavor and aroma, but a little better than most.

Bottled. Aroma has a lot banana wheats and some citric tones. Hazy, orange coloured with a lasting off-white, medium head. Taste is a bit sweet, has some maltiness, some yeast and a lot of bananawheats. Nice, but a little one-dimensional.

500ml Bottle: Aroma of metal, wheat, slight yeast, and moldy water-bottle. Poured brown in color with a small than head that disappeared very quickly. Cloudy. Sparkling. Full of small and large sized particles throughout. Looks like muddy water or diarrhea. Flavor is slightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of yeast, slight banana, metal, and a hint of spices. Medium body. Thin texture. Soft to average carbonation. Metallic finish. Eww. Drain-pour.

500 ml bottle from Country Club Liquors. Nose of wheatiness, with light banana ester and some bubblegum. Hazy copper with a medium beige head. Flavor is light wheat with bubblegum, light spiciness, sweetness, and yeastiness. Finish is lightly bubblegum and sweetness. Nice fruity GHefe!

50 cl bottle. Yeast at the bottom. Amber orange colour with a huge stabil white head. Lovely aroma of yeast, bread-like, vanilla and banana. Tasty weizen with notes of banana, yeast and litle wheat. Very soft and very nice.

Bottle: Deep honey/orange color with a fading off white head. The aroma has lots of dry phenolics with a caramelized sweet wheat presence- honey clove, and light banana. Simple. Light body- a bit over carbonated IMO- some chalky mineral notes- clove, light oxidation blend with a caramel and banana note. Dusty and dull- as well as a bit too sweet. This bottle seemed past its prime.
