◌ Aroma

Stone fruit dominates the nose—ripe peach emerges first and holds the foreground, joined by warm spice notes of clove that add complexity without harshness. Beneath these primary scents lies a clean, slightly phenolic yeast character typical of top-fermented wheat beer, with a whisper of banana in the background.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and fruity, with peach and light spice developing across the mid-palate. The wheat malt provides a gentle, slightly grainy sweetness, while the low bitterness (14 IBU) allows the fruit and yeast character to take center stage. Finish remains crisp and clean, with no astringency.

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.
