The first time , I bought this beer at a local liquor store it was horrible. I should of look at beer date before I bought it. It was old beer. The second time I taste it on tap it taste like a world class beer.

Appreance: hazy pale orange a white head

Smell: Aroma is a typical wheat beer.

Taste: It has great depth with spices of clove and coriander with the sweet lemons. It is very smooth and balanced malts and mild hop influence without over doing it.

Mouthfeel : Light side to medium bodied with a good, smooth, creamy feel to it. It is Awesome!

Overall: World class beer! Try it on tap do not buy old bottle at local liquor store.

This hefe is second only to weihenstephaner which is saying a lot!
A bit more malted flavors and less of the clove spice makes it pretty interesting ...the first time i enjoyed this beer I had purchased it in a grocery store in upstate New York for 7$ a sizer,now I pay about 11$ for it in fla ,it's well worth it.
Outstanding stuff! Prost!

I normally would not buy this for myself but picked one up at a family gathering.
Nice orangey color with a wheaty cloudiness to it. Large foamy head and nice lacing.

Nose is yeasty with clove, coriander, banana and lemony zest.

Bready sweet malts, clove, banana, citrusy and bright. Delectable drinking. Drinks like it smells.

Very refreshing with moderate carbonation.

It's been about twenty years since I've had this. Matter of fact the GA (german-american) restaurant in Chicago on LaSalle St always put a lemon in it. Yea, this takes me back to some great times. Will have to put this into my rotation. Very accessible brew. Will be great as a summer quaff.

Nice and cloudy - great head for a wheat beer, but it dissolves quickly. Slightly darker than most wheats, which feels very promising. Smell is nice. Spicy smell with the hints of cloves/bananas typical in a lot of wheats/ hefe's - smell is not incredibly intense though.

Taste - awesome. Very complex for a wheat beer. Starts off mild and wheat-y with a little spice, and finishes with a really cool almost sour (no worries - it's not really a sour taste) flavor, tasting a little bit like apples - almost like a Belgian sour with the finish. The flavor is really cool, and the mouth feel is also really nice - a little heavier and fuller than your average wheat beer.

Overall, this is an excellent wheat beer. If you see it and you like wheat beers, buy it up. This is one of those beers I wouldn't mind stocking up on so that I could always have it around.

Probably in my top 3 German, et al, Hefeweizens - 3rd behind Weihenstephaner and Kulmbacher Kapuziner Gold (fighting for #1)

A: huge, generous off-white (beige) foamy head, keeps a cap all the way down - super-cloudy, yellowish brown liquid - looks hearty

S: one of the best! textbook - dinner-roll and more cakey malt - baked banana, though subdued - clove at a higher degree - it smells (as do other H-P beers) like a lightly-spiced sweet roll

T: banana nectar really comes out more, but not overbearing - bit of a balanced bitterness in the finish, clove-y - doughy malt still reigns supreme, yeasty and sooo good - a little bit dirty, overall

M: creamy and nearly silky, wanting just a little more smoothness in body - perfect touch of lift and scrub from the carbonation, aided by some hop bitterness tingling - dry enough - really nice to drink

O: I had no idea how good this was, but considering the fact that I've had some other great beers from H-P, this comes as no surprise - the flavor could bust out a little more but, otherwise, no complaints - highly recommended

Bottle from The Cave, Glasgow (500ml):

Hazy orange colour with a massive, foamy white head on top that stays at about three and a bit centimetres tall.

Banana and spice to start things off along with some light wheat and orange aromas. There is also a lot of fruit and some clove too.

Banana and spice along with some nice summer fruit flavours that come through stronger than with the nose. There is some orange in the middle and a bit of clove with some coriander thrown in for good measure.

Quite well carbonated, on the light side of medium bodied with a good, smooth and almost creamy feel to it. There is a light citrus tang and a clean finish as well.

An excellent hefeweizen here and a very traditional, unmistakably German taste to this one. It ticks all the boxes for what a hefeweizen should taste like and makes for incredibly easy drinking; I had to slow down some to fully appreciate it.

look: 4.5 | smell: 5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

Looks the style. Milky golden yellow. Opaque, with stuff in it. Constant bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. The head is very thick, as thick as you want it to be depending on your pour. White with different sized bubbles. Great retention with the middle gradually falling in on itself.

The definitive smell for the style. All bubble gum and banana with some cloves. You can smell the sweetness and tanginess from the wheat.

Great taste from the wheat and Noble hops. Earthy, biscuity taste. Some clove-like spice.

A bit loose, slightly watery feel. It's crisp from the carbonation and the wheat gives a tangy, spice feel, but it feels slightly watered down or I'd grade it higher. No real hop bitterness, but kind of a buttery feel in the swallow.

Overall, it's a damned fine beer. Only the slightly loose taste and feel hold it back for me. Really, a session beer in that it's so smooth and easy to drink.

500 ml bottle into weizen glass, best before 1/2013. Pours very hazy golden amber color with a nice 2 finger dense off white head with incredible retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice soapy lacing clings to the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big orange, lemon, banana, pear, clove, pepper, wheat, earth, herbal, light bubblegum, and yeast spiciness. Fantastic aromas with great balance, strength, and complexity. Taste of banana, orange, clove, wheat, pear, bread, pepper, earth, herbal, light bubblegum, and yeast spiciness. Lingering notes of citrus, banana, clove, wheat, bread, earth, and yeast spiciness on the finish for a good bit. Great flavor balance and complexity; nice amount of flavors without being watery; no cloying on the finish at all. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a fairly creamy, chalky, and lightly foamy mouthfeel that is very nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a small warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is an awesome hefeweizen. Great flavor balance and complexity; extremely smooth to drink. One of the better ones in the style I have ever had for sure.

Poured from bottle into pint glass

Appearance – Pours a hazy orange amber color with a thick and huge with head. The head has good retention, eventually fading to give a moderate level of lacing.

Smell – The aroma is heaviest of wheat and yeast with some strong aromas of banana and citrus. When mixed with some spice notes it produces one nice hefeweizen aroma.

Taste – The taste begins with a sweet and bready nature. The sweetness is mainly of an orange citrus nature with the bready nature being of a wheat flavor. As the taste advances more toward the middle, yeasty and spicy flavors come to the tongue. In the end the wheat flavor intensifies and combines with some banana and more orange flavors to leave a quite sweet and pleasant flavor to linger on the tongue.

Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is on the lower then average side in terms of creaminess and thickness with a carbonation level that is fairly average. These are very appropriate for the style and makes for a quite easy drinking brew.

Overall – Very tasty ad easy drinking. This is a very easy drinking, tasty, affordable and a classic hefenweizen . A nice choice and one to try.

Served in a shaker pint glass at Westwood Tavern.

This was one of the few solid offerings at Westwood, as far as draft was concerned, so I went with it. It pours a hazy sunset amber topped by a half-finger of glowing off-tan foam. The nose comprises lemon zest, light orange zest, very light coriander, and a touch of biscuit. The taste brings in more of the same, with a light dusting of clove coming through in the background. The body is a light medium, with a moderate carbonation and a fluid feel. Overall, a generally solid, if boring, hefe, one that doesn't seem to stack up with its compatriots.

Comes out of the tap a beautiful, hazy, barely translucent dark amber with a fine-bubbled pale tan head. Wheaty aroma has an overtone of citrus, lemon and orange and a hint of yeast. Flavor has a wheat core with a strong citrus overtone and hints of yeast and even caramel. Smooth texture has good body and fizz, more body than most hefes I have tried. A superior and delicious hefe! Try it on tap if you can.

(4.0) A: Cloudy straw coloured with a dense and creamy stark-white foam head. Well lasting retention with very good lacing.

(4.0) S: Fresh cut grasses, faint seaweed, cloves, pineapple, banana, mango, and sweet cane sugar. After a bit of vigorous swirling the tropical aromas really come out of this nice and cleanly.

(3.5) T: Grainy with a mineral tinge, cloves, and rare hints of those tropical fruits that were so full and robust on the nose. The finish is somewhat lacklustre with a clean and abrupt ending. Mineral qualities are detectable, albeit not glaring, and lean towards metallic.

(3.0) M: Light bodied with a lower carbonation. Fairly thin with a slight chewy texture.

(3.5) D: A decent weisse, and worth a try, but products with more complexity and character are available in this category.

Appearance - Poured aggressively, a cloudy golden orange with a white, 3 finger head. Good retention, resulting in a thick, creamy and sticky lace.

Smell - Strong toffee notes, with spice sitting behind this, and you can definitely smell the euro hop influence.

Taste - Primarily banana and buttery toffee. Hints of clove spice about midtaste. Delicious. Like drinking liquid candy.

Mouthfeel - Light, but creamy; likely from diacetyl. Decently carbonated. finishes a touch on the dry side.

Overall - This is a fantastic beer, though it doesn't necessarily fit the classic hefe description. A bit rich, but makes for one hell of a dessert beer. I imagine this pairing heavenly well with a slice of cheesecake.

One of the best German Wheat Beers that I've had the pleasure of trying. The taste was excellent, with no aftertaste that I could discern. Somewhat cloudy in appearance. Pours with just the perfect amount of head. Not heavy on the palate or the stomach.

Probably my first ever Weizen, and enjoyed it on 2 continents, time to give it a review.

.5l bottle with a best by date of 11/12. Poured into my HB Willi Becker, which is shaped well for a Weizen, no fruit.

A -- Hazy, gold-orange (peach-like) with the perfect, creamy, dense white head that holds up forever.

S -- Spicy clove, banana/bubblegum, mild breadiness back.

T -- Mellow clovey-banana character right up front, spiciness in the finish, mellow breadiness rounding off the aftertaste. Very refreshing on a hot summer day.

M -- Mouthfeel is soft and lightly spritzy with a medium body, but not filling.

O -- If you're craving a good Weizen in the Bavarian tradition, you can't go wrong choosing the Hacker-Pschorr -- it delivers everything that the style advertises.

This is a really good beer for the style, but I don't like the spices often put in wheat beer. This beer is light on the spices though.

NOTE: I GAVE WAY HIGHER SCORES THAN NORMAL BECAUSE I DON'T APPRECIATE THE STYLE. HOWEVER, THIS BEER IS ON OF THE BEST BEERS OF THIS STYLE.

This stuff was always pretty plentiful in Milwaukee, but now that I'm back on the west side of the country, it is pretty rare to find again. Pours a nice hazy yellow with about 1" even of head on it. Aroma, banana, still smells like belgian yeast, clove.

Same in the taste, banana/clove. Actually enjoyable for my tastes, I wouldn't want to drink this over and over, but one bottle in a day's setting in the summer does the trick. A little sweet and tart in the mouthfeel, just right, doesn't allow clove or yeast to be a massive dominating presence. Somehow can have high carbonation and yet seem creamy at the same time.

Best before 5/2012.

Pours a murky honey orange with a 1 inch foamy orange-white head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Thick foamy rings of lace line the glass on the drink down. Smell is of wheat, yeast, spice, and a nice sweet banana aroma. Taste is much the same with a slightly sour quality to it. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good hefeweizen and the best of the Hacker-Pschorr beers I have tried so far.
