Well I've only tried paulaner, so maybe I just don't like paulaner.
I believe it to taste like the skinny strips of smokey, salty bacon. I hate the dryness. It generally makes my face turn inside out! <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

I'll jump in here on James' side of the argument <!-- s:-) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:-) -->
I generally find that they taste too sweet, and there's a 'greasiness' to the mouthfeel that I dislike. The banana aromas I also find really odd.

Having said that, I had a bottle of Erdinger Dunkel tonight and quite enjoyed it!

I do not like wheat beer either,however weiss bier with different taste was introduced to me by Beertourist at the first meet in Against the Grain,will allow myself to be influenced by believers if they have a view of any beer. <!-- s:mrgreen: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="" title="Mr. Green" /><!-- s:mrgreen: -->

Excellent we have a debate going <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

The banana flavours can be lessened by a cooler fermentation ( which given the last two winters will certainly save on the kegerator bills ) and I will certainly bee brewing some winter weissens

Also the Dunkel variants reduce the sweetness some what as the replace with the drier, darker, slightly bitter malt flavours

I am really only thinking of the classic Bayern/Scwaben wheat beers at the moment and not the other berlinner Weiss / Belgian Witt beers

Cheers

I used to like the classic weissens and especially dunkelweissens but maybe due to a change in my palate I don't enjoy them so much now. I find them too sweet.
