Feine Weisse

Tap to rate

Fruity banana and a touch of clove frame the nose, then a lively first sip leads into a full, fruity-sweet mouthfeel. The finish is dry and reserved, leaving only a discreet aftertaste. Creamy golden-yellow with firm, fine foam, 5.2 %. Pure-cultured yeast, plenty of wheat malt from Allgäu and Upper Swabia and gentle top fermentation shape this wheat beer.

◎ Appearance

A luminous golden-yellow hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent foam crown that clings steadily to the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a pronounced fruity character dominated by banana esters, complemented by a restrained clove spice that adds complexity without overwhelming. This aromatic profile is characteristic of pure-cultured yeast working through substantial wheat malt, creating a clean and inviting first impression. No hop aroma is present; instead, the focus remains entirely on yeast-derived phenolics and esters.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is lively and refreshing, with the wheat malt foundation delivering a full, fruity-sweet mouthfeel that coats the mouth with creamy texture. The banana and clove notes carry through from the nose into the mid-palate with good balance, while the low bitterness (14 IBU) allows the malt sweetness and fruit esters to remain prominent. The body is full without being heavy, supported by the wheat component and yeast conditioning.

◑ Finish

The finish turns dry and reserved, shedding the initial sweetness with a clean departure that leaves only a discreet aftertaste. This restraint prevents the beer from cloying and contributes to its refreshing final impression.

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.
