Paulaner Hefe-Weizen Paulaner Brauerei, Munich, Germany This Bavarian-style unfiltered hefe-weizen has an off-white head and a light golden color. The sweet malt aroma leads into a smooth blend of sweetness and wheat flavor with a semi-dry aftertaste. This highly carbonated wheat beer is crisp and refreshing.
