Dunkles Hefe-Weißbier

◎ Appearance

A mahogany hue with gentle opacity from living yeast suspension in the bottle. The head is fine and persistent, settling into a soft, almost creamy collar that clings lightly to the glass. Carbonation is restrained, befitting a traditional Hefeweizen.

◌ Aroma

Banana and caramel lead the nose, complemented by subtle roasted malt undertones. The yeast character is soft and refined rather than assertive, with a sweetish overall impression. No hop aroma intrudes—instead, the wheat and dark malt provide a grainy backbone.

◐ Taste

Entry is gently sweet with pronounced chocolate and banana notes. The palate is full-bodied yet smooth, with the wheat providing a soft, creamy mouthfeel. A subtle, dark-chocolate bitterness emerges mid-palate and carries through, balancing the initial sweetness without dominating.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with lingering chocolate and a faint yeasty dryness. The aftertaste is clean and slightly warming, leaving a sense of gentle bitterness without harshness.
