Paulaner Hefeweissbier

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

Hoegaarden used to be my favorite, but then I found this Paulaner brew. Well balanced, fruity (banana is prominent) - overall very well balanced. Best of all is this beer’s full texture - more like a meal than a beer. Thank goodness for Munich and their brewmasters! It’s recently available at ABC liquor in Sarasota, FL.

Another gift from a friend, pours with a slight copperish, cloudy color. The aroma has hints of Banana bread, as too does the taste.

Pretty consistent year to year. Certainly better on tap, but still quite good in a bottle. Strong hefe flavors of banana and clove. The warmer the better on this one. Love the end of the glass.

Pours luxurious hazy golden color with suggestion of brown. White, pillowy head is glorious to look at and certainly helps with aroma. Nose has a banana lemon creme component, with seductive yeasty/bready notes that make you yearn for that first sip. Palate has a good balance of the standard banana/clove interplay, with a pleasing wheat cracker taste. One of the best examples of this style. Finish highlights the carbonation, wheat cracker again, and leaves a pleasant toasty bread-like taste on the palate. Amazing beer, world class.

12 oz bottle..very much like hoegaarden.very refreshing and only 105 calories!!!citrus, herbs, banana, clove, golden, cloudy, frothy, white foam, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, lightly sour, light body, creamy, lively,

This is a nice hefeweizen with a lighter bubblegum/banana quality and stronger toasty grain quality. It is lightly cloudy gold with a very big, dense off-white head that lasts long and is creamy. Teh aroma is 1st toasty grain but this gives way to bubblegum, banana, light yeasty wheat bread, fresh plums - very nice. The taste is tingly with a light grain quality throughout plus a light bubblegum and banana quality, lemon-lime soda pop, balanced sweet-bitter character, then in the finish the toasty grain takes over for a long finish, more so than seems usual for German hefeweizens. It’s a great example.

Once again I find myself in love with another wheat beer from across the pond. Love it.

A very very good Hef. To me, one of the best available in the US for sure. I really enjoy its flavors - light, crisp, fruity, slighty sweet, with hints of orange and lemon. Nice carbonation. Should be poured out of bottle for true enjoyment, as with most hefs.
