Paulaner Hefe-Weizen

Paulaner Hefe-Weizen is a classic German wheat beer with smooth body, cloudy golden color, and signature notes of banana and clove. Naturally cloudy and brewed according to centuries-old Bavarian tradition, it’s the gold standard for the style—refreshing, flavorful, and easy to enjoy.

Description:

Brewed in Munich since 1634, Paulaner Hefe-Weizen is a benchmark Hefeweizen (unfiltered wheat beer) known for its balanced profile and signature yeast-driven aromatics. Crafted with a high proportion of wheat malt and a special strain of top-fermenting yeast, it delivers soft carbonation, full mouthfeel, and bright, fruity character without being overly sweet or heavy. It’s a refreshing, highly drinkable beer that’s as at home in a beer garden as it is at your kitchen table.

Tasting Notes:

  • Appearance: Naturally cloudy, deep golden color with a massive, fluffy white head.

  • Aroma: Ripe banana, clove, a touch of vanilla, and fresh-baked bread.

Origin:

Brewed by Paulaner Brauerei in Munich, Germany, this beer follows the Reinheitsgebot (German Beer Purity Law) and remains one of the most respected and widely enjoyed wheat beers in the world. It reflects centuries of brewing heritage and is a staple of Bavarian beer culture.

Serving Suggestions:
