5,0 Original Weizen
A golden, naturally cloudy wheat beer brewed to 11.5° Plato. The flavour is yeast-driven: pronounced, punchy notes from fermentation meet a sweet fruitiness typical of the style, in the direction of ripe banana. Fresh and full-bodied on the palate, with bitterness barely registering at 12 IBU, so the fruit stays in front right through the finish.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for 5,0 Original Weizen
Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.
Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.
Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.
