Aroma

The nose is dominated by classic weizen yeast character with prominent banana and clove notes, complemented by warming spice undertones.

Taste

The palate opens with creamy, full-bodied malt sweetness featuring caramel and toasted bread flavors, followed by distinctive banana and clove from the weizen yeast. Mid-palate reveals a subtle roasted character that adds depth without harshness, while the low IBU (16) allows the malt and yeast complexity to shine. The finish remains smooth and wheat-forward with lingering spice notes.
