Hacker-Pschorr (Hefe) Weisse

Well, I tried this beer after some recommendations online, but was quiet disappointed. It tasted and smelled like cooked ham. I don’t know how else to describe it, I pass this place out in the country on my way to work everyday and it has a big sign up saying "we roast pigs" and you can smell the air around that place of roasting pigs i guess, and i swear i could taste that same smell when i drank this beer. Bought two bottles of this stuff at the local beer store and just drank half of the second bottle, couldn’t get myself to drink the rest.

I tried this beer on June 29, 2007 after purchasing it from my local LCBO store. The aroma is slightly pungent with a wheaty punch. The colour is a cloudy peachy colour. The mouthfeel is thick and fuzzy to the cheeks with mild carbonation. The taste is thick and wheaty as well. Not a beer I will go out of my way to try again.

12 oz bottle. Only says "Weisse" on the bottle but I believe this is the same. Anyway, poured a hazy orange with barely any head. The aroma is clearly wheaty as is the taste. Nice solid hefe.

This is probably my most favorite of all hefe weisse beers. This one has no flaws for me. It has a great wheat flavor without being overly tart or sour. Excellent flavor and body with a clean and simple palate. No overtones oor bas spices exist with this brew.

Draft at Black Forest Inn. Unflitered orange/gold with plentiful frothy foam. No complaints, a wonderful beer. Haven’t had a beer this good since my first Leffe draft in London. Fruity (banana more than lemon), spicy (some clove), creamy, wheaty, and refreshing.

Hazy pale orange with huge white foamy head. Subdued sweet citrus-spice aroma. Flavor is mostly cloves and banana. A bit weak on the flavor, but this may have been an old bottle (looks like some date is "05.06"). Also kinda thin and a bit soapy, and none of the usual clean hefe finish. Otherwise pretty standard though.

Bottle. Typical hefeweizen - hazy light orange, aroma of banana, spices and wheat. Flavor is wheaty malt and tart, ending dry. Good mouth feel. This one is a little sweeter than others of the style.

500ml - Aroma of freshly baked wheat bread, clove and a touch of lemon. Pours light orange with a big quickly fading head and great lacing. Flavor is sweet yeast with a slight spicy zing, wheat and barley round it out. Palate is creamy and smooth. While there’s nothing groundbreaking here, it is still a tasty and easy drinking brew on a hot summers day.
