Paulaner Hefeweissbier

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

Thanks to the in-laws for getting this one for me! Surprised I’d never rated this. Medium orange and gold, medium, lasting head, slight haze. Aroma lightly grainy, with a touch of clove and lemon. Flavor is wheat grain with a lovely touch of balanced esters, bubblegum on the front with equal parts clove and lemon on the finish. A delicate, tasty beer.

From a twenty-four ounce bottle purchased at "Keller’s IGA" in Cincinnati, Ohio - First, this beer has been relabed as "Paulaner Hefe-Weizen" for the American market (but it’s still the same fine beer). Okee-dokee, now on to to the review... this beer poured a hazey, orange-amber liquid with a very fine-bubbled off-white head and the requisite banana-clove aroma of a good hefe. Tastewise, it’s a rich, wheat beer with an interesting bitter finish... it’s good!

I love Hefe's! Nice sweet malt aroma with bananas and some clove in the back of the mouth. Great with a lemon in the hot summer.

Bottle pours a classic hazy lightorange yellow witha very nice creamy egg-white looking head. Lots of Bavarian yeasty notes in the aroma. Spices and cloves and a littel bananas. Flavor is a creamy banana with some other fruity and light clove like spices. Very soft creamy feel,. and a lively but fine carbonation. Classic German Hef!

Outstanding Hefe, i put it in the same class as konig ludwig, the taste between the two is very similar. A strong flavor of banana in the finish not a lot of aftertaste. If your looking for something better try Weihenstephaner

Overall I liked this beer, rich banana aroma capped by a dynamite taste; what more could you want? Only drawback is the color which seemed to be a little odd for a hefeweizen.

Light bodied, not quite as cloudy as I would have expected. Creamy looking head with orange, malty and sweet notes. Clover honey and roasted, somewhat smokey flavors. Foam had something of a coppery taste.

A really nice beer. Cloudy with a good head. Spiced with a hint of fruits. Good fresh and refreshing flavour that lingered nicely without brutalizing the palate. Will definitely be buying this again.
