Paulaner Hefeweissbier

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

Christ, I always wondered what would happen if someone was able to mix the flavors of banana, cardboard, and yeast, and I have found it. BEAUTIFUL pour, AWFUL taste. Head is gorgeous and thick with medium lacing. First sip made me wince (seriously). There is an aftertaste I cannot put my finger on...blood?...a handful of coins?...ball bearings? Seriously, it tastes like bannana bread and auto bumper combined dusted with yeast. Highly over-rated beer.

Pours a hazy golden orange. Aromas of bread/bananas/ and some fruit. Had a taste of yeasty bread with some spice.

Cloudy yellow, white head. Fruit and floral aroma. Citrus and spice to the taste.

Bottle. Poured with a large fluffy head. Great lacing. Aroma is typical hefeweizen. Cloudy orangish color. Mouthfeel is smooth. Taste is crisp. Malt, some spice in taste.

Draft at Flying Saucer. I can’t believe I have not logged a rating. It pours a hazy orange amber with a white head. Very assertive banana bubblegum nose. Light bodied, but refreshing with that great unfiltered mouthfeel. Initial flavor of lemon, banana, and tropical fruit that transitions to a tame yeast clove finish. A solid hefe,

Looks, smells, and tastes just like an German wheat. No surprises.

Cloudy yellow/ornage color. Clove, sweet malt, wheat and citrus aroma. Malty and sharp taste. O.K. standard wheat, but for me it’s quite overrated.

Pours hazy gold into a tumbler. Banana and butterscotch notes. Consistent bright white micro head with excellent staying power. Upfront banana low/medium carbonation with a dry crisp finish.
