Hacker-Pschorr Dunkle Weisse

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

On tap, pours amber with red highlights, has a tan head. Smells yeasty and of light wheat. Taste is creamy and light in carbonation with a nice malt backbone. Not very much bitterness, but some good spice flavors. Good stuff.

Date: 09/14/08, 12 oz. bottle

Aroma - Quite fruity, hints of spice, solid caramel character

Appearance - Cloudy orange/brown pour producing a huge, creamy, and lasting light beige head

Flavor - Sweet malt flavors of caramel, dates, figs dominate. Some wheaty tartness provides the balance, as any hop bitterness is well hidden and very gentle. The finish is very lightly sweet, and that seems to be very appropriate in this beer

Palate - Medium body with vigorous carbonation, very smooth mouthfeel

Overall - Among the better dunkelweizens that I’ve had, very drinkable, tasty, and with enough complexity to be interesting.

Really enjoy this one. Very light flavor but yet pretty complex. I taste of clove and bananas. Very attractive pour, medium brown in color and very hazy. Good sized quickly diminishing head. Very easy to drink.

great fruit-wheat aroma very carbonated, cloudy dark amber, medium light tan head typical wheat beer mouthfeel-- very nice. distinctive light sweetness to go with medium-body wheat, spice, and fruit taste.

Labeled as Hacker-Pschorr Weisse Dark. Pours with a hazy brown body and a large, creamy white head with good lacing and retention. Aroma of bananas, caramel and some chalk and clove. Taste is water, toffee and rotten bananas, a bit too fizzy.

Murky Brown with good sized off white head. Aroma of roasted malt and caramel. Light palate. Lively carbonation. Flavor of caramel, hints of banana and spice. Not a bad beer. Pretty smooth.

bottle, almond color, thin head, nut brown color, flavor is slightly banana with caramel overtones, finish is watery

A very nice looking dark amber color with thin white head that lasted until the last swallow. Aroma had hints of something sweet, which I guess could be described as ’clovey malt’ (ie, commerical description). Flavor was altogether what one would expect from a weiss beer: non-bitter, easy to pound. The finish was thin but noticeable, one-dimensional but solid, true to the German tradition. This is a beer that meets all expectation and would completely satisfy most every palette. Just a little boring in a market jam-packed with originals.
