Hacker-Pschorr Sternweisse

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

0,5 l flip-top bottle. Bought in november in Germany, forgot, than i’ve found it yesterday. Best before 0907. Delicious appearance with a hazy opalescent, brownish body, nice creamy and lacing tan head. Fine aroma of honey and spicies like cinnamon, clove, some toasty caramel, fruity banana. Medium bodied but smooth mouthfeel, fruity character with banana and citrus, light toasted caramel, clove and cinnamon again with a lively carbonation. Good fruity-spicy aftertaste. Nice after all the months in bad conditions...

The star pours a cloudy sandy brown, with hints of russet. The head is just-off-white, creamy, and lasts. The nose is quite strong of fresh bananas, with notes of cloves and spices and a hint of caramel. As the beer pours towards your tongue you feel a rush of banana and caramel, and when it hits are notes of biscuits and malt. There is a light sweetness, accented by the fact that this is not nearly as effervescent as most German hefeweisse beers. Playful, fruity, and quite drinkable. This would be a great summer beer. Too bad it’s cold and wet out now. By the way, I love this label.

aroma of yeast and some small esters. appearance is slightly darker and also more cloudy then regular hacker or other similar weizen. flavor is fruity but the surprise is hops, or some other general bitterness that is sharp on the center of the tounge, where a standard weizen would feel more round and smooth on the palate. mouthfeel is not as coating and lingering compared to standard hacker. overall a nice departure, more substantial and heavy then the regular old fare.

50cl bottle poured into a weizen glass. Copper with plenty of white creamy head. Aroma is bananas, citrus, bread. Flavor is the same. Short to medium sour finish.

pours dark orangish color with fast disappearing head. very tart, sharp, spicy flavor. quite refreshing. nice clean finish. cool swing top bottle...

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.

50 cl. bottle. Hazy copper brown pour with a head that is only medium in size be hefe standards, and settles disappointingly quickly. Nice yeasty aroma of bread followed by some clove and fruity esters. LIght to medium body, brightly effervescent, and an easy drinking smoothness that leaves a clean palate. Nice balance between the light malty sweetness and wheaty tartness. Finish with only the slightest hint of bitterness, but combined with the tartness, results in a dry finish. I thought this was pretty decent.

500 ml swingtop pours a dirty orange/gold body with a generous offwhite head. Aroma of banana, clove, wheat, and faint lemon. Creamy body with average carbonation. Taste has a clove and coriander spiciness, complimented by prominent banana, faint orange, bready wheat, and yeast. Cinnamon notes emerge as it warms. A good hefe.
