Hacker-Pschorr Dunkle Weisse

Bottled (from beerangel.de). Hazy nutbrown colour with big creamy beige head. Aroma is banana, some fruits and caramel malts along with some mild yeastyness. Flavour is banana, wheat, caramel malts, some nuttyness and also mild cheesy notes in the background. Tonguetickling carbonation, yet very smooth to drink.

500 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy brown with a large, foamy, clingy beige head that lasts. Has a lot of bubbles rising from the bottom. Taste is of yeast, wheat, fruit, spice and some banana. Similar aroma. Has a slight tingly mouthfeel, but has a thin body and is on the watery side. Very clean and easy to drink. Looks good, but the taste is rather disappointing. Not bad, but a forgettable beer.

Found this in Okinawa this past week. Pours out a dark murky brown with a rather large tan head to it. However, the head doesn’t last long and isn’t really satisfying, exciting at first but quick to let you down, probably just like your first teeth grinding experience with head when you and your lady were 15 or so. Aroama is the typical banana-clove combo you would find in most weisse beers. Flavor is sweet and yeasty, doughy, and hay-like. It was accented by a slight fruity flavor of plum. Not bad, but again not the best thing in the world.

Bottle of "Hacker-Pschorr Weisse Dark" which is the American alias, I would assume. Aroma is like a dry Bananas Foster. Quite banana-y in the flavor as well, with hints of clove on the finish. Well made and tasty.

Very nice beer. Aroma of bananas and some cloves, with hints of roasted malt in the background. Flavor is similar, with citrus, followed by a roasted malty finish.

Draught at Abbot on the Hill, Toronto. This was tan brown in a tall weizen glass with a beautiful one inch frothy head. There was caramel, some fruit, and clove in the aroma, all fairly subdued. The body was light to medium with a fair bit of carbonation. I could taste lots of fresh brown bread, more caramel in the malt, some subtle clove, dark fruit.

Bottle Pours out a a nice copper topped with a small white head. Aroma was of sweet malts and honey. Tast was very nice more of the sweetness and light spice. Pretty tasty.

12 oz bottle purchased at the Beer Run in Chattanooga. Poured a hazy brown color with a two finger tan head. The aroma was sweet, with clove and a bit of caramel. The flavor was fruity, with clove present. The palate was average, with good carbonation, a clean mouthfeel and a medium body. I really enjoyed this beer. I didn’t expect much, as I am generally disappointed by these types of beer. This one is an exception.
