Paulaner Hefeweissbier

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

330ml bottle. Pours a hazy golden/orange colour with a small fluffy head. Aromas of banana, wheat, clove and citrus. Taste of wheat and citrus, very smooth, medium body and good carbonation. One of my favorite heffeweizens.

Got this one on tap at Old Chicago in Madison. Hazy gold pour, some citrus flavor, minimal bitterness. Excellent hefe.

From a bottle. Pours a nice tan, cloudy yellow with a thin, creamy white head. The aroma is very mild, containing wheat, a hint of citrus and spice. The taste is banana, cloves and mild, but very nice spiciness in the finish. In my opinion that little kick of spice sets this Hefe apart from others (Weihenstefaner included). The beer is fully bodied, but not to the point of overwhelming the refreshing taste. Really excellent overall - one of my favorite session beers.

Definitely one of the better Hefeweizen’s out there. The flavor is crisp and fruity and finishes smooth. I wish I could find it on tap.

Pours great for a hefe, muddled and golden, small head with light lacing.. Heavy barley aroma that is sweet and strong with hints of citrus. First taste reaction: That is good! Somehow almost full-bodied, rich and creamy, yet bitter and salty and truly hefe-like. Very good! - and that is coming from a guy who doesn’t like hefes - i prefer dopplebocks.

29.08.2008, 0,5l Bottle. The colour is golden and the beer is cloudy and lively carbonated. Fruity aroma with citrus and flowers. Very fresh and good beer.

Good character and body. Nice balance of malt, hops and other flavours (notably clove and banana, which adds to the aroma as well). The added carbonation expected of a wheat beer but, no overkill. Moderate on the palate but savoury nonetheless. Better on tap than from the bottle. Pleasant with German style food. Great in hot weather. Attractive cloud and colour.

(12oz bottle) Pours a cloudy orange that eventually clears with nice fluffy 1 finger head that dissipates quickly. Maybe the best thing about this beer is the smell. Tons of banana and a subdued clove aroma are present here. A little bit undercarbonated I wish it had more. Good thickness though.Could have 4 or 5 of these on a hot summer day and love every one of them. Overall this is maybe in my top 3 or 4 hefeweizens I have ever had. Given its wide availability it is amazing how consistent they have kept this beer over the years and I still rarely top it in the style when trying new hefeweizens.
