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

Hazy orange with white head.Aroma ofwheat and banana,sweet and fresh with smooth mouth feels o.k.Hefeweizen.

The archetypal German hefe-weizen for me. It’s really everything a wheat should be. It’s not as exotic or as expensive as some, it makes a great consistent hefe-weizen, though. Banana and clove, good old German yeast.

My bottle said Hefe-weizen 5.5% but this site says weisbier. No translator but I think it’s the same. A slight aroma of fruit that is not ripe. Poors a beautiful swirling yellow cloudy haze in my steeler stein. Interesting flavor to my taste buds like other good cloudy light yellow wheat beers. Finish is OK with little bitterness. Bitterness does not linger.

Bottle: Pours a hazy yellow gold with a white head. Aroma, lemons, yeast, wheat. Flavor, wheat, lemons, a light tartness, bready malts. Good stuff.

Hazy orange with white head. Smell is wheaty and banana like with some light clovey yeastiness. Taste is similar with some yeastiness. Nicely wheaty and slightly fruity. Medium body. Solid, and worth another try when I haven’t had so many beers.

Ah Paulaner my old friend. I discovered you at age 22. 10 full years before my rate beer obsession. For most of those years you were my only thought when wheat beers came to mind. Sure now and then I would cheat. Would see some other wheaty behind your back. But baby, I always came back, and you have always been there for me. Rarely has a month gone by when you were not there by my side, though I must confess that months would sometimes pass between the times I would grab you and take you for my own. Sigh. I guess the glitter comes off all relationships at some point. I even remember 1995 when Jurgen the German exchange student came to live with us. He was so thrilled the first time he opened the fridge and saw you there. He claimed that he had you all the time when he was in Germany. I felt proud. I felt the love. And I knew you were my baby. And I trusted you baby - you never failed me. Now I know I have not been as attentive as I should be. And I have been indiscreet in leaving a cyber trail of wheaty romances on my Ratebeer stats list. Now baby, don’t be mad. Don’t go. Yeah sure I’ve been with Weihenstephaner, and ok yeah Ayinger too, but baby you still matter to me.Let me hold your 16.9 oz brown bottle once again. Enjoy the cloudy orange color as you slip into something more quaffable. The large orange head still brings a smile to my face. I can still smell your strong orange and wheat scent. It made my taste buds come alive with desire. Your taste, so full of orange and wheat. True, I am a dog. Yes I have other wheaties on my mind. But baby, what we have will always be special.

Appearance is a very hazy, creamy looking light orange color. Aroma is sweet and fruity. A little apple and banana aroma. Flavor is a little sweet. Some nice fruity flavors. Kind of a creamy mouthfeel. Finish seems dry and spicy. Nice well balanced brew.

Poured from a 12.oz bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. A nice cloudy golden color with a nice puffy white head to it. smell very sweet citrus maybe a little banana. taste is very good a little bitter at first than i mellows out to a very mild lemon/ orange taste finished very clean.
