Paulaner Hef-Weizen:
Guten tag mein Freunde! Today I drink and review what some consider to be the best Hefewezen out there, and really, who am I to disagree.  Paulaner Hefe-Weizen is a natural cloudy wheat beer that is brewed according to the laws of 1610 (check) that were laid out to make sure that all German Weizenbiers are made with quality ingredients and made well.  This beer even has pouring instructions on the web and a bottle comes with a reinforced bottom for extra hearty German Prosts among you and all your buddies.  The beer pours well, and if you pour it correctly (remember the website instructions) will result in a nice head about two fingers thick and a very cloudy appearance.  The nose is of more floral notes than wheat though an undertone of grass and lemon do come through on the beer.  The taste is very clean and crisp with lemon, wheat and malts dominating the tongue through the entire drinking process and leaving a very bread like after taste.  For a while this was my favorite Paulaner beer but that was before Breckenridge and their version of Oktoberfest and getting to try their Oktoberfest Marzen and…well, October can’t get here soon enough to review that beer.  Anyway, the Hef is a great summer beer though I can only do one, maybe two max due to its heavy nature, but that’s okay, beer’s like this are meant to be savored, not downed like cough syrup.
