Rosenheimer Hefe Weißbier

◎ Appearance

The beer pours in a hazy golden-yellow to pale orange hue, characteristic of the style and its suspended yeast. A tall, densely-packed white head forms and persists across the glass, displaying fine adhesion to the walls. The body remains visibly cloudy throughout, with active carbonation evident in the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced banana esters and a distinctive yeast character that dominates the initial impression. Secondary aromas of tropical fruit—mango and passion fruit—emerge beneath the phenolic-ester profile. Subtle floral notes from noble hops provide a gentle frame without asserting themselves over the fermentation signature.

◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied and creamy, with the banana and yeast notes carrying through from the aroma into the mid-palate. Gentle acidity adds liveliness and a subtle tartness that prevents heaviness, while the tropical fruit complexity rounds out the flavor. Bitterness is minimal, allowing the malt sweetness and fermentation character to remain in the foreground.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately brief, with the yeast and banana notes fading to reveal a touch of malt sweetness. The slight tartness lingers softly on the palate without becoming astringent.

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.
