Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Weizenguss

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with pronounced natural cloudiness from active yeast in suspension. A thick, creamy head forms and clings persistently to the glass walls. Fine carbonation creates a soft, almost silken mouthfeel rather than aggressive effervescence.

◌ Aroma

Ripe banana and toffee dominate the nose, supported by gentle clove spice characteristic of weizen yeast phenolics. Almond nuttiness emerges beneath, with delicate floral notes from Tettnang Tradition hops providing subtle balance. The organic malt base contributes a soft, grainy sweetness without heaviness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and velvety, with wheat malt smoothness carrying through the mid-palate. Stone fruit notes—pear and yellow greengage plum—emerge alongside continued banana and a hint of caramel depth. Gentle hop bitterness (17 IBU) remains restrained, allowing yeast character and fruit complexity to shine.

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.
