Paulaner Hefe-Weizen

I started working on another assorted six-pack from The World Market this evening, and I decided to start out with a wheat beer. This is Paulaner's Hefe-Weizen Natural Wheat from the Paulaner Brewery in München, Germany. Wheat beers are normally excellent summertime drinks with their lighter flavor. This beer has a nice fruity flavor and practically no hop bite at all. Its unfiltered nature also gives it a slightly cloudy characteristic (like my previous article on Bell's Amber Ale) with a minor yeast sediment left behind in the bottle this time rather than letting it sneak into the glass.

I'm planning to brew a wheat beer with a possible cherry or strawberry flavor in late April or early May for my summertime enjoyment. Things are looking good for my home brewery. I'm still planning to purchase my necessary equipment and hopefully my first batch of ingredients this week sometime.
