Hacker-Pschorr (Hefe) Weisse

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.

500ml bottle. cloudy amber/orange with a nice big head. aroma of citrus, fruit and some banana. nice flavours of citrus and corriander. smooth and refreshing. good summer time beer.

Draft. Pours cloudy amber with lots of head. Aroma is citrussy, taste is not that acidic w/some coriander.

500mL bottle. Pours a cloudy golden orange with a fine lacy white head. Aroma is very fruity, with citrusy and banana elements. Flavour is extremely sweet and fruity, in addition to the citrusy aromas, there appears to be a slightly sour strawberry-like taste. Carbonation is light, with very little aftertaste, which makes it feel a bit thin. Overall, a great refreshing beer that I would drink on a sunny, summer day.
