Amber Weissbier
Smoky notes mark this Hefeweizen, and amber is in its name. It comes from the Aldersbach brewery in the Lower Bavarian Vils valley, in a former monastery that Cistercians took over in 1146. An arbitration letter of Count Albert of Hals documents the brewery's work since 1268; the von Aretin family has owned it since 1812.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Amber Weissbier
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.
Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.
