Hacker-Pschorr (Hefe) Weisse

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

bottle, poures a hazy golden with a medium head, very good example of a german weisse beer.

Bottle. Pours cloudy orange/gold with a medium sized white head. Aroma is bready and full of banana, fruits, and mild clove. Flavor is sweet and full of wheat, banana, and spice that lingers for a while.

Pours a hazy golden yellow, with a about a cm of white creamy froathy head. Freshly poured the beer has a strong aroma of banana, as the beer settles the aroma gains strong notes of wheat. The flavor is sweet, and spicy with notes of banana, the carbonation is good, medium bodied, with a creamy finish. A pretty decent beer.

Bottle actually only says weisse. Pours a nice golden color with low carbonation and a nice think fluffy white head. Greaty wheaty taste that goes down smooth and has a medium finish. Overall very good for a hefeweizen but no hops and a bit watery.

Another weizen that advertises that it brews according to the Rheinheitsgebot, the Purity Law of 1516. It pours a cloudy orange with a nice fluffy ivory colored head. The carbonation was fairly light, and the nose was light to medium on the esters. The taste was medium on the wheatiness and for the first time I noticed the clove taste I hear many raters talking about with weizenbiers. This is another really good weizenbier from Bavaria where they know how to do it.

Bouteille. Couleur jaune-orangée voilée, avec une mince mousse qui persiste et colle au parois. Arôme de levure, de malt de blé, d’agrumes. Goût légèrement acide. Bien agrumé et sucré. Finale en amertume. Équilibrée. Corps moyen et effervescence moyenne.

Pours nicely hazy amber colour with a large fluffy head. Strong wheaty aroma with citrus and yeast. Nicely balanced sweetness.

My most recent sample of this beer came on draught at Ludwig’s Biergarten, in Philadelphia, PA. Pours to a hazy, deep golden color, with a tall, thick, rocky, white head, and a vibrant carbonation. The nose on this beer is excellent with aromas of spicy clove, grainy wheat, and fruity esters of bannana and pear. The palate is firm, with excellent, grainy and tart wheat malt flavor, paired with estery fruity flavors of green apple and pear. This beer finishes with more thirst quenching, tart wheat flavor up front, then ends with some spicy clove flavor that lingers. It is hard to go wrong with a classic German example of Bavarian hefeweizen, and this beer is a classic. A perfect match to a number of German dishes on Ludwig’s menu. I enjoyed this one with a spicy cup of goulash, followed by an outstading meal of saurbraten, red cabbage, and spatezl.
