Paulaner Hefeweissbier Dunkel

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

On tap at The Castle on KIng. Beautiful golden body, thick foamy white head, so well presented in its own glass, this is an automatic 5. Yeast, banana in aroma - subtle, soft. Great taste - soft malt/wheat base, some clove and banana - nicely balanced. Lots of clove in the finish. Mouthfeel is just terrific - soft yet actively carbonated. A really nice beer - like a refreshing easy to drink lower alcohol version of a Aventinus with the balance a little more tipped toward the wheat side of things.

Pours hazy brown with ample white head that dissipates gradually. Mild malty estery (banana) aroma. Flavour of sweet malt, banana, woody clove. Very good , tasty and refreshing, but I prefer its light brother Paulaner Hefeweizen.

Munich import back home. Mahogany pour with muddy orange edges against the light and a collapsing collar of froth. Conditioning not the greatest for a hefe- head dissipates completely within swigs. Estery banana, clove and apple strudel aroma ripe with yeastiness, bubblegum and fruit. A dab of sweet cherry or plum/stone fruit, followed by watery red apple, the ubiquitous banana, woodsy spice and pepper. Underwhelming beyond the nose- the aroma suggests a bolder esteriness that doesn’t really emerge. Was looking forward to this, and it’s a bit of an anticlimax. Still a pretty tasty beer, mind…

Flaske. Mørkebrun rødlig øl. Tydelig banan duft, men den er ikke så kraftig i smagen, i det hele taget er smagen meget forsvindende, men dukker op til sidst med et diskret krydderbid. Ikke så meget andet at sige andet end hverken super eller dårlig.

0,5l bottle. Opaque brown. There’s a lot of wheat in the aroma and the same follows in the flavor. The flavor is a bit surprising since it doesn’t really taste as dark as it looks. As a friend of hefeweissbier I liked it.

Nice aroma indeed, smells a bit belgian, add some egg and suger. hard to describe, but smells real good. muddy brown with small off-white foam, small bubbles. nice flavor, but a bit on the dull side. i can taste a little alc. which is a drawdown, not as refreshing as i had hoped for. Still a good beer. way above average. bit above average palate.

Hazy brown beer, 50CL bottle. THis beer is not bad. bud it isnt great. Fruity taste.

Murky oxide hue under a voluminous tan sponge. Grape and cherry bubble gum collides with oily rye and caraway. Soft acids and whole wheat cookies faint into a leafy finish. Light, watery with a chalky texture; carbonation is brisk.

Shy acidity and malts leave me wanting.

50cl bottle, best before 10.2008.
