DRAFT REVIEW: Paulaner Natural Wheat Hefe-Weizen
RATING
87

Big wafts of banana reach the nose with light clove and bubblegum accents. Prickly wheat splashes onto the tongue first, followed by banana and clove that infuse the grainy malt base with classic hefe flavors. A touch of bubblegum briefly sweetens the swallow mid-sip, but a flash of lemon upstages it before the finish. This beer could use a touch more wheat to buoy its hallmark flavors, though it’s a neatly balanced example of
the style.
