Waldmeister Weisse

Tap to rate

A barely greenish shimmer instead of neon green: the bouquet is led by cinnamon-like, herbal woodruff aromas, then the cider and apple must notes of the Budike Weisse take over. Slim and very dry on the palate, with meadow flowers and dried hay beside apple and citrus; the finish is refreshing and tart. Aged on real woodruff herb, never syrup. 4.0% ABV.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Waldmeister Weisse

◎ Appearance

A pale, barely greenish shimmer dominates the glass—far from neon saturation, suggesting restraint in the woodruff infusion. The beer presents excellent clarity with a delicate, fine head that laces the glass with precise, thin strands. Fine carbonation underscores the effervescence without aggressive boisterousness.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with cinnamon-like, herbal woodruff in the foreground, creating a distinctive botanical entry point. As the beer warms, cider and apple must notes emerge—reminiscent of fermented orchard fruit—layering a subtle fermentation character. The herbal signature remains grounded and naturalistic, never artificial or syrup-forward.

◐ Taste

The palate is slim and intensely dry, with meadow flowers and dried hay providing a subtle floral frame. Apple and citrus notes play across the mid-palate with crisp precision, while a moderate sourness underlies the structure without dominating. The dryness persists throughout, creating a mineral, almost astringent quality that keeps the beer lean.

◑ Finish

The finish is refreshing and snappy, driven by herbal dryness and citric snap that fade cleanly without residual sweetness. A gentle sourness lingers as a pleasant, thirst-quenching aftertaste.

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.
