Nittenauer Weissbier
Clove, banana and a fresh fruitiness define this top-fermented Bavarian wheat beer. Wheat was long a privilege of the Bavarian ducal house, until the freedom to trade in 1868 ended the wheat monopoly and anyone could brew it. The Nittenau version uses Hallertauer Tradition and Tettnanger hops for 18 IBU at 5.1% ABV, at 45 EBC colour.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Nittenauer Weissbier
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.
