Paulaner Hefeweissbier

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

Rerate: Draft-poured cloudy yellow with a huge white head. Light banana aroma. Yeasty and full bodied flavor. Not as frutiy as other hefe’s but still a good beer. I’m on my 3rd as I write this. Pretty tasty stuff. First time I have had a hefe-weizen. I will buy it again.

Great German hefe. One of the standards when it comes to the style. Looks beautiful - a hazy, orangish/bronze that’s cloudy and balanced. Small, off-white head as expected. I can smell it from about 18" away as I’m writing this review. Smells spicy, and of orange zest, bananas, hints of lemons and sweet vanilla. Tastes wonderfully smooth and balanced. Yeasty, like sourdough bread. Trademark characteristics - such as spice, vanilla and banana - are well done. Mouth watering. A great example of a perfectly carbonated hefe. Paulaner always manages to brew a fantastic beer.

A well put together hefeweizen. Not my favorite, but certainly a great example of the style. Cloudy golden body, big puffy white head, aroma is citrus and banana. Good stuff.

Orangish appearance. Smells of wheat, oranges, and pears. Flavor is fairly light with a hint of banana. More of an apricot citrus fruit taste. A rather light palate. An enjoyable wheat beer.

It's easy to take this for granted, being one of the more widespread hefeweizen brands available outside of Germany. However it never hurts to take a swig and remember just how good this is... Beautifully sweet, crisp and refreshing. Creamy yeasty flavour, with a rich orange colour, and big frothy white head. Nice on tap or out of a bottle, this is one of my favourites.

i could have sworn i had rated this. one of my standard goto hefe’s when i need a hefe. this one is bottle. pours cloudy orange tinted tan with a towering white foamy head. aroma of sweet banana bread and pepper. taste is sweet pear and banana tangy yeast flavor that mixes with the clove/pepper in the finish. very thick mouthfeel that leaves a a lot to chew on when it is gone. a good beer all the way around

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a reasonably sized white head; pour the last inch or so of the bottle for some cloudiness. The aroma is yeast, nectarine, and a touch of spruce. The flavor is almost identical to the aroma, but with more spruce. Toward the bottom of the glass it gets zestier. Predictable, but okay.

On tap at the Red Star Tavern in Virginia Beach. Hazy yellow with a fluffy white head. Nose is yeasty, wheaty (of course) with banana and light citrus notes. Nice, crisp, light citrus (lemon and tangerine?) slightly spicy in the finish. Good for the style!
