Paulaner Hefe-Weizen


☺☺☺☺

Brewery: Paulaner; Germany
Brew: Hefe-Weizen
Pour: Beautiful pour. Large bubbles and yet a thick head.
Aroma: Cardamom and bananas. Rusty. Like a nail. I think I smell bubblegum?
Appearance: Dark, cloudy amber. Lots of proteins swimming around unfiltered.
First sip: Bananas, cloves, cardamom, and butter. Still a little rust. Malty, but nice hops. Very sweet. Burnt malt.
Mouthfeel: A little bite with a lot of foam.
Finish: Creamy with a little of that odd bubblegum flavor at the very end again.
Notes: Happy beer! More complex than a Franziskaner, but more confusing with the rust and the bubblegum.

  2. Enjoyed this immensely when served on tap, on several occasions at a Paulaner Brauhaus. Not surprisingly, I guess, the bottled variety didn't quite measure up. Not bad, but not the "real deal"
