Paulaner Hefe-Weißbier

Paulaner hits you with a crisp banana note right off the pour—the kind of clean, almost sterile hefeweizen character that made this style famous. There's just enough clove to keep it interesting, but it doesn't linger. The body is light and refreshing, with a slightly grainy sweetness that makes you want another sip immediately.

Wittmann Hefe-Weisse

Wittmann feels less processed by comparison—there's a murkier, earthier grain presence that sits behind the banana and clove. The yeast seems to work harder here, giving you a more textured mouthfeel. It's subtly spicier and a touch more complex, though you have to pay attention to catch those nuances.
