From a 330 ml bottle (best by December 2013) into a hefe glass.

A-A slightly tentative pour produced about two fingers of dense, white foam. The head dropped slowly into a thick cap that never went away thanks to the steady stream of carbonation. The brew had more clarity than most hefes and presented a orange-tinted, light amber color.

S-The smell is pretty true to style with light lemon, cereal grain, a touch of straw, and very little hop bitterness. It is a touch astringent.

T-The taste is also pretty true to style, if slightly underwhelming. There is lemon, orange rind, a hint of bitterness in the mid-palate, and a slightly grassy-tasting wheat/cereal maltiness. The brew opens a little as it warms to near room temperature and loses its coarseness.

M-The carbonation is pretty soft, but ample, and the finish is mildly crisp. The body is medium for the style. Nice and drinkable, but not a chugging beer.

O-I am a bit underwhelmed by this hefe. The smell and taste are touch on the coarse side for me. I could have used more banana and spice to go along with the pleasant lemon/citrus flavors. Oh well, they can't all be winners and I'm always game to try again as hefe season (summer) opens up.

Poured into a weizen glass. A large head on top that recedes slowly, leaving some lacing behind. The color is a typical opaque yellow-orange with some traces of yeast floating around after pouring. The beer has a sweet smell to it, primarily of bananas, cloves and sugar. The taste is very complex, with the yeasty overtones dominating, along with a some maltiness. There is almost a creaminess to the mouthfeel with some carbonation too. Paulaner Hefe-Weizen is among the best of the type that Germany has to offer.
