Paulaner Hefe-Weissbier Naturtrüb from Paulaner Salvator Thomasbraeu AG
Rating: A-
Sampled at the Paulaner Brauhaus on the waterfront in Cape Town, South Africa.
Appearance: So cloudy it's opaque! Seems slightly yellow for a wheat, dense head looks like meringue. Very good lacing and head retention. A fine looking hefe weizen.
Smell: exactly what you'd expect - banana and clove
Taste: lots of clove, with banana in the background. No citrus or acid notes that I could detect, which was a little surprising. A friend had his mixed with 1/3 lemonade and said it was an excellent combination.
Mouthfeel is slightly sweet-ish, but remains light rather than syrupy. Carbonation is high, as it should be in a wheat, and it helps to mask the sweetness a bit. Aftertaste is definitely banana.
Drinkability: this is an excellent ambassador for the style. that said, it's a little intense to be a sessioner - I think you could think of this as the chardonnay of beers.
Serving type: on-tap
