Das Weizen
Banana and clove lead the way, with fruity and spicy notes and a lively, sparkling prickle. A cloudy, golden, top-fermented wheat beer from Schaffhausen, brewed with barley malt, wheat malt, hops and yeast, 5.2% ABV and served at 7 °C. The brewery behind it has been brewing commercially since 1799, when its beer was first tapped in the Falken tavern in the old town.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Das Weizen
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.
