Taste

The palate opens with creamy, smooth wheat flavors balanced by distinctive banana and clove characteristics from the weizen yeast strain. Mid-palate showcases a slightly sweet, full-bodied character with fruity notes, while the naturally low bitterness (0 IBU) allows the malt and yeast profiles to shine without astringency.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Aying Weizen

Serve at 5–8°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

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

Weizen glass
Recommended for this style

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.
