Hacker-Pschorr (Hefe) Weisse

Pours a hazy yellow with little head. Aroma of manderin oranges cloves, exotic fruits, and yeast. Tastes of oranges, cloves, soft fruits and a finish of bready yeast. Mouth feel is very nice, fairly carbonated... but a soft carbonation. Nice hefe.

Lovely cloudy golden body with a thick white foamy head, notes of citrus and a creamy flavor, well balanced, clean finish. Super.

500ml glass at a München schnitzel restaurant. It is dark gold and cloudy in appearance, with a large, yet fading head. The carbonation is mild, as is the bitterness. There is a lasting mild and sweet flavour, with a hint of strawberries. A very pleasant brew.

12 oz. bottle. Poured hazy orange with a ring of white head. Scant lacing. Flavor of bananas with some oranges and citrus fruit poking through. Very dry finish.

Dark brownish orange with a big creamy off white head. Grainy light spicy aroma, big wheat smoothness. Light oranges and other citrus fruit. Taste is big citrus, lemon, oranges, then some banana, and a dry finishing spiciness.

Bottle. Mild fruity aroma. Cloudy orange body, white head. Flavor also is mild and fruity, then finishes with a little tang and spiciness.

I consider this the standard for comparing all other hefeweizens. It may not be the most rare or complex wheat beer in the world, but it is exactly what a hefe should be. Good from the bottle, but significantly better on tap.

Drinkable hefe tried on new years eve 08. Good size white head that lasted well on a orangey golden body. Flavours of clove and banana in the aroma and the taste with neither standing out too much.
