Uttendorf Weißbier Dunkel

Tap to rate

A slight note of banana and the scent of yeast greet the nose; the banana carries on into the taste. Full-bodied and tingling, it ends with only a little hop bitterness. Josef Schmerold took over the brewery in 1835 and Dominik Gerner in 1873; Gerner was elected mayor of Uttendorf in 1876. The brewery now turns out about 19,000 hectolitres a year.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Uttendorf Weißbier Dunkel

◎ Appearance

Deep amber-brown hue with a veil of fine haze, characteristic of the style's yeast suspension. A dense, creamy head builds readily and clings to the glass with fine lacing as the beer is consumed. Carbonation is moderate and even throughout.

◌ Aroma

A welcoming nose dominated by ripe banana esters and fresh yeast character. Subtle spice notes—clove and mild pepper—emerge beneath the fruity top notes, with a soft, grainy backdrop of wheat and Malz. The overall impression is clean and inviting, without harsh phenolic edges.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied on entry with the banana note carrying seamlessly from the nose into a smooth, slightly tingling mid-palate. Wheat and soft Malz provide gentle sweetness and body, while a hint of clove spice adds dimension. Bitterness remains restrained, allowing the yeast character and grain to remain the focal point through to the finish.

◑ Finish

A brief, clean finish with only modest hop bite. The aftertaste is dry and slightly crisp, fading to a faint hint of banana and yeast without lingering sweetness.

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.
