Klokhenne

Tap to rate

A Weizen in the German manner, with banana and a light bitterness. Fairly full in flavour and body, yet a proper thirst-quencher for summer days. Mommeriete regards itself as the first brewery in the Netherlands to brew a Weizen, and it has been brewing since 2004.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Klokhenne

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a soft, hazy appearance characteristic of the style, suspended yeast contributing to the cloudiness. A dense, creamy head forms readily and clings to the glass with good retention, leaving fine lace on each sip. Bright carbonation is evident throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent banana esters—sweet and slightly fruity—layered over soft wheat malt. Delicate clove notes from the yeast add subtle spice, while a gentle herbal restraint from noble hops keeps the profile balanced. Overall impression is clean and approachable, with yeast character in the foreground.

◐ Taste

Entry brings rounded sweetness and wheaten grain, with banana and clove flavors developing across the mid-palate. The body is full and satisfying despite the refreshing character, and a light but distinct bitterness emerges in the middle, preventing sweetness from dominating. Finish carries lingering grain and a subtle herbal dryness.

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.

What is a Hefeweizen?

Hefeweizens are unfiltered Bavarian wheat beers with 4.9–5.6% ABV. Yeast-driven banana and clove esters define the style, alongside a hazy golden body and soft wheat sweetness.
