A pale golden hue with characteristic natural cloudiness typical of traditional Weissbier. Dense white head forms quickly and persists well, indicating proper carbonation and wheat malt presence. The hazy, opaque body is visually inviting and authentically Bavarian.

◐ Taste

Smooth wheat malt sweetness enters cleanly on the palate, complemented by prominent banana and clove notes from traditional fermentation. Mid-palate remains light and refreshing with subtle bread character balancing the fruity yeast expression. Minimal bitterness (12 IBU) allows the yeast phenolics and esters to shine without harsh spice.

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.
