Paulaner Hefeweissbier

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

Dark blond, milky with a medium head. Hoppy sour aroma. Fresh, sour, yeasty, slightly lemony taste. Fairly short taste. Refreshing.

Cloudy golden-yellow with nice white head. Lots of banana, honeyish sweetness, vinous notes? Right on Franziskaners heels.

On Draught) Paulaner Hefe is a great German wheat, but it is so damn critic! I really enjoyed the oily palate, and the fruity orange zest nose, but it becomes over powering if you really become attuned to it. This beer poured a large frothy head and held out a nice constant lacing thorough out. A good German Hefe, but I wish the pub would stop giving me that damn orange slice, which I end up eating and never put in my beer.

Somewhat sour in the aftertaste. I found it to be not quite as refreshing as a wheat beer should be.

had this on draft last week at the suppenkuche, a definite if in the sf area. poured beautifl grainy yellow with a spongy huge head. nice nose of bananas and spice. smoothness hits the palate and more banana bread wormth kicks. no lemons please. an excellent hefe though a bit thin at times.

Aroma - Banana, clove, light fruit and grain all contribute to a traditional hefe aroma

Appearance - Cloudy yellow orange that has to be poured carefully because of the explosive, billowing white head that shows good durability.

Flavor - Excellent balance of flavors with the fruitiness of the malt complementing a light wheaty tartness and soft dryness at the finish.

Palate - Light body, healthy carbonation, smooth and clean palate

Overall - A very fine hefeweizen in the classic tradition from one of Bavaria’s most respected brewers.

Pours a hazy dark gold with a dense, creamy, off-white head. The nose is wheat and heavy yeasty esters: banana, bubblegum and a faint cotton candy. Quite nice. The mouthfeel is light, creamy and soft. The flavor is a solid, mouth-filling wheat with a distinct bubblegum note finishing with a short/crisp end. This is a very clean, refreshing and drinkable beer; the Germans certainly know how to make some tasty wheats.

Lovely aroma of banana and clove. The appearance is a nice balance of light and dark yellow/gold. I feel that it disappoints a bit on the finish, as the flavor doesn't really carry through on the aftertaste. However, this is a very good example of the German hefeweizen style.
