Augustiner Weißbier

◎ Appearance

This Weissbier displays a pale golden to light amber hue characteristic of the style, with a slight haze from suspended wheat proteins and yeast. A thick, creamy white head forms readily and persists well, while lively carbonation creates a continuous stream of fine bubbles throughout the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately inviting with prominent phenolic clove and fruity banana esters derived from the weizen yeast strain. Soft wheat maltiness provides a subtle grain sweetness in the background, while the overall aromatic profile remains clean and well-integrated without any harsh or yeasty off-notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with smooth wheat-forward maltiness and a touch of subtle sweetness, followed by those signature banana and clove yeast character notes in the mid-palate. Low bitterness (15 IBU) allows the malt and yeast phenolics to shine, while the medium body and slightly creamy texture provide excellent balance without heaviness.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and refreshing with a dry, clean aftertaste that invites the next sip. No lingering sweetness or bitterness remains, leaving only a pleasant, thirst-quenching dryness.

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.
