◐ Taste

Entry reveals smooth wheat malt sweetness with a light, refreshing body that glides across the palate effortlessly. Mid-palate develops subtle banana and spice notes with a bread-like quality, while the low bitterness (13 IBU) allows the yeast character to shine through cleanly without harsh edges.

Serve at 5–8°C

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Weizen glass

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.
