Marketed as "Weissbier" internationally. In USA sold as "Hefe-weizen"
It’s the #1 wheat beer in Germany and one of the world’s favorites. In fact, beer experts call it a masterpiece. In developing this beer, the Paulaner brewmasters have perfected a unique technique with “yeast suspension,” resulting in a uniform, slightly cloudy appearance, consistent quality, and perfect taste.

500ml bottle, 5,5% abv, Poured in a Wiessenglass. Yellow Amber hazy colour. 2 finger off-white head. Small to medium bubbles carbonation.
Smell, bread, banana, clove, little citric acidity.
Smouth mouth feel. Taste a little bit more nutty and more spiced than most Weissenbeers. Light bitter yeasty aftertaste.
Very good beer, However, being one of the more expensive ones in its category, I'd rather buy the more drinkable and smoother Franziskaner.

Poured from a 500ml bottle .
Pours milky orange-brown , plenty of sediment with a short lived thin white head , a bit ugly.
The smell is strong funky yeast ,wheat , citrus and maybe a touch of honey a d the taste follows on with yeast leading the way in an almost Belgiun ale fashion ,there's bags of orange , coriander, Christmas spices a mild sweetness and scant bitterness.
The mouthfeel is borderline foamy in a good way , not at all watery .
Overall, disappointing to look at but once tasted it's a different story . Somewhat strange and an acquired taste but once you get into it it's like a German weissbier meets a Belgian pale ale in flavour and it works very very well.

Undated can into pint glass. Pours a medium honey color with a frothy, long-lasting white head. Initial imprssion is sweet wheat, cloves, banana, bready malt, and a bit of spiciness. Mouthfeel is clean and crisp. Overall, a very enjoyable and drinkable Hefeweizen. Its high scores are well-deserved.

Poured a 500ml can into a pint glass. A two finger off white head on a cloudy apricot. Good head retention. Lots of lacing.
Clove and banana in the nose.
Again cloves, spice and yeast flavor.
Light body and moderate carbonation.
Overall an excellent Hefeweizen. Well worth a try.

Lives up to the "#1 wheat beer in Germany" claim. It's a beautiful, delicious and joy inducing beer. Great from a bottle, can or on tap. No complaints. 5/5.

This is an opaque orangey-colored beer with a dense off-white head. The nose is spicy. The palate, too, is spicy, complex -- and utterly delicious. Fantastic!
