Hacker-Pschorr (Hefe) Weisse

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.

An absolutely wonderful drinking experience. Perfect for afternoon drink, or to compliment a meal. I would recommend this beer to anyone.

bottle: This one surprised me. Like most wheat beers, this one poured a cloudy yellow with a thin white head. Wheat comes through in the aroma. Light tasting and easy to coiffe. Very enjoyable. I will definately be buying this one again soon.

12 oz bottle. Typical wheat and yeast aromas right out of the bottle. Lots of fruit in the nose as well. Apricot, banana, and lemon being the most dominate. Medium in body with a nice crisp refreshing finish. Not a big fan of the style, but this one is pretty tasty.

Out of a 16oz bottle. When I poured a sample into a glass, the hue was orange/amber with a cloudy body. The head was quite white and billowy. The aroma reminded me of formaldehyde (spelling?), as is the case with all hefes that I’ve tried. I also noticed a hint of orange blossom as well. The taste was definitely strange but also kind of refreshing. I tasted lots of wheat and some green olives. A very watery natural orange juice flavor soon arrived, and dominated the taste buds. Not bad when cold.

500ml bottle. Pours a nice hazy orange colour with a lot of white head. Aroma of yeast, wheat, a tiny touch of citrus, malty. Tastes strongly of yeast/wheat, with some delicious malts. This is one of my go-to beers, and probably my favourite hefe that’s readily available to me, but the only thing that I take away points for is the slight over-carbonation that distracts a little bit from the taste, and also makes the mouth-feel a little rougher. Other than that this is definitely an awesome brew!

Artificial bubblegum style banana on the nose. Looks delicious while and quickly after pouring with nice sparkling orangy body and yellowish pearly head, but quickly goes down to being just dirty and no head. Smooth and fruity. I’m doing a head to head with alcoholfrei Erdinger and for some reason I prefer the Erdinger!

Bottle. Nice white head and nose typical of German weissbier. Smooth tasting and well-rounded example of the style. Can’t really put my finger on any one outstanding characteristic but a good beer all the same.
