Weissbier
Hacker-Pschorr Bräu GmbH

A: Pours a golden/orange color. With just a bit of haze throughout, a dense white head forms with excellent retention and sticky lace left as the foam gently recedes.
S: Fruity esters, banana, apples. Peppery spice, baked bread all intermingle, snappy wheat. Simple, excellent and very nice.
T: Esters up front, not all banana. Though that is certainly a noticeable component, but also more apple . A little caramel apple like, with just a touch of sweetness. The doughy, biscuit, baked bread like malts, along with snappy wheat to make this all balanced. As is the wonderful peppery spice, that is just enough to dry this out. Excellent.
M/O: A medium to fullish body, with crisp carbonation at first. Though that becomes wonderfully smooth. Finishes semi dry, and this is something I can down in big gulps. As my favorite "drinkability" saying goes.

A wonderful example of the style. I don't know why I haven't reviewed this before, but one of my favorite traditional German versions of the style I can get my hands on. Lots of character, all around balanced, and very moreish. Can't ask for much more than that.

 

 

There is only 1 German wheat beer i prefer over a hackerr and thats a franziskaner. Both fantastic choices

Appearance (Look) – 4.0
Pours exactly like a classic German wheat beer should. A beautiful hazy wheat color with a biscuit-brown tone and a thick head. Authentic German weissbier appearance.

Aroma (Smell) – 4.5
Right off the nose you get everything you want from the style: banana, clove, biscuit, and sweet bread. Spot on for a traditional German weissbier.

Flavor (Taste) – 5.0
That’s right—5 out of 5. This is the perfect flavor profile for this style of beer. Excellent balance of banana and fresh bread notes with just the right carbonation. Clean, smooth, and incredibly drinkable. Competitors should absolutely take notes.

Mouthfeel (Feel) – 4.75
Extremely soft and smooth. Light carbonation with a creamy texture that makes it incredibly easy to drink. Outstanding mouthfeel.

This is the holy grail of weissbier. There are many outstanding wheat beers from Germany and around the world, but this one stands at the top of the mountain. It delivers everything the style is supposed to be.

Mancave Rating: Crown Jewel Beer
If you're a fan of German wheat beers, this one is mandatory drinking.

 

 

 

 

Great Weissbier, a classic. I prefer Weihenstephaner HefeWeissen but this is also wonderful. Great feel/body and the hoppy flavor is nice.

 

If not for the import price, I would buy this beer more often, its an above average weiss beer, its got just a just a tad grassy and dark after taste, otherwise no complaints.

 

 

So many American breweries attempt to imitate this style but very few can brew it this way. Tastes so good when you stir up the sediment on the bottom of the bottle and pour it over the top of your just poured beer to achieve that full flavor bouquet.

 

At my lady Pamela's house; canned and chilled, 500mL in a weizen glass. From the Huron Church Rd. LCBO in nearby Windsor. No date stamp or lot number. My fourth beer from the Munich, Germany brewery, and for 2025. With Sundae the cat...

 

Hazy orange color with a big, white head as expected. Classic notes of banana and clove in the aroma. Malty, yeasty taste. Not sweet and very drinkable.
