Paulaner Hefeweissbier

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

cloudy gold color. fruity in aroma and flavor, quite malty. a little overcarbonated...

Bottle. Pours cloudy wheat with thick white head. Spicy lemon aroma, nice sour hefe taste with good body. Even better draft.

at first the beer has a sour taste to it, and then theres a after taste that comes and makes this beer taste great.

Good hefe, has a citrusy aroma with about a one-inch white head. Tastes of wheat, citrus, and some banana notes. Has a mildly bitter finish and is good on a hot day.

Bouteille de 330 ml, acheté à l’SAQ de Rosemère (Québec) le 28/2/08, bu le 1/3/08. Blanche orange brumeuse, petit collet. Arome de crème de blé épicé, banane et petits fruits. Goût de blé peu épicé et malté, très légé et très rafréchissant.

A good wheat, to be sure...to me, it’s among the small handful that ’set the standard’ for the category. Sweet, bready, not overbearing, apparent and not overly-complex flavors, and above all, very very drinkable. Pours a hazy light gold with a good size somewhat lingering head. The carbonation is very apparent. The aroma is typical of a wheat...bready, with bananas and apple pie/clove spices with just a faint hint of citrus, mostly grapefruit. The taste is straightforward, and much like the aroma. Very bready with hints of banana and a citrus taste that is more predominant than in the aroma. The clove/spice taste is reserved for the finish, which is relatively bitter, dry, and clean.

A pretty standard, all around well-done Hefe. Basically all that you could want in a hefe, banana, clove, yeasty goodness. I don’t really know what else to say without feeling a bit redundant. Quite fruity and a king-sized stein is pretty filling! The yeast adds almost a weird dry touch in the finish, which is something I haven’t experienced before in any wheat beer. Maybe that was just from the sheer amount of the stuff that I had.

Draft. Orange pour with almost no head. Aroma is citrus, grainy malt, generally sweet. Flavor is typical for the style; light and refreshing. It’s a little grainy, bananas, citrus. Slightly above average for the style.
