Paulaner Hefeweißbier leicht 3.2% 7.7º Pale unfiltered wheat beer.  
Paulaner Weißes Gold 4.5% 10.5º Pale filtered wheat beer. In a stupid clear bottle. A beer for people who who thinks it's cool to drink from a botlle.  
Paulaner Helles Gold 4.5% 10.5º Pale lager - Helles. In a stupid clear bottle. (See above.)  
Paulaner Hefeweißbier dunkel 5.3% 12.4º Dark unfiltered wheat beer.
Caramel, ginger, clove and basil aroma; sweetish taste with citrus aroma; bitterish finish with ginger. Good spicy aroma, but disappointing i the mouth.

Paulaner Hefeweißbier naturtrüb 5.5% 12.5º Pale unfiltered wheat beer.
Aromas of cloves, coriander and ginger, sweetish taste with clove aroma, more cloves and basil in the finish. Archetypal wheat beer with lots of cloves - exactly what you would expect from the style.

Paulaner Hefeweißbier kristallklar 5.5% 12.4º Pale filtered wheat beer.  
Paulaner Roggen 5.3% 12.5º Unfiltered dark rye beer - made from barley, wheat and rye malt.
Caramel, raisin, lemon and giner aroma; sweetish taste wityh ginger, wheat and toffee aromas; creamy, peppery liquorice finish. An odd beer with no wheat beer spiciness, but some ginger flavour from the rye. I found that the flavour improved as it got flatter.

Paulaner Diät Bier 4.3% 8.5º Pale lager.  
Paulaner Premium Pils 4.9% 11.5º Pils.
Spicy bitter aroma, sweetish/bitterish taste with spice and pepper aromas, bitter finish with spice and flowers. Good spicy hop flavours, but a little more sweetness than you would expect in a pils.
68 
Paulaner Original Münchner Leicht 3.2% 7.7º Pils.  
Paulaner Original Münchner Hell 4.9% 11.5º Pale lager - Helles.
Vanilla and cardboard aroma; sweetish/bitterish taste with hop, fruit and margarine aromas; woody bitter finish. Has a slight hop-extract offtaste and a generally rough hop character. It tastes like they've been skimping on the raw materials.

Paulaner Original Münchner Dunkel 5.0% 12.5º Dark lager.
Apple, rasin, caramel and malr aroma; neutral taste with caramel, apple and cream aromas; bitterish finish with toffee and smoke aromas. OK. Reasonable dark malt flavours, but a little pasteurised tasting.
 61
Paulaner Original Münchner Urtyp 5.5% 12.5º Pale lager - Spezial.
Basil and tea aroma, bitterish/sweetish taste with metal, basil and cardboard aromas, bitter finish with pepper and wood. A beer totally ruined by nasty, rough hop-extract flavours.
48 
Paulaner Original Münchner Märzen 5.8% 13.7º Amber lager - Märzen..
Apple, raisin, malt and margerine aroma; sweetish/bitterish taste with apple and toffee aromas; bitter finish with butter, hop and fruit aromas. A reasonable fruity, bittersweet beer that is about right for the style.
 60
Paulaner Oktoberfestbier 6.0% 13.7º Pale lager. Seasonal.  
Paulaner Salvator 7.5% 18.3º Dark bock. (Dark amber in colour.) Seasonal.
Toffee and hop aroma; sweet/bitterish taste with toffee, caramel and hop aromas; bitterish finish with toffe, dates, cream and hop aromas.
Not complex enough for its strength. Not really dark enough either. Disappointing.
