Benedict Pšeničné pivo 11°

Tap to rate

A Bavarian-style wheat beer, an 11° with a full body and lively carbonation. The bitterness is low and soft, and the typical aroma and flavour of banana and clove stand out. Beyond the pale and dark lagers, the monastery brewery's range under the Břevnovský Benedict name also includes wheat beer, IPA, stout and porter.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Benedict Pšeničné pivo 11°

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a soft haze characteristic of the style. A dense, creamy head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine lacing, indicating good protein content from the wheat. Vigorous carbonation sustains the presentation throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by a striking interplay of ripe banana and warm clove—classic Hefeweizen esters and phenols from the yeast. Soft wheat grain underlies these fermentation notes, with no sharp alcohol or acetone character. The overall impression is clean and inviting, free of any astringency.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and smooth, with the wheat providing a gentle, slightly doughy sweetness. Banana and clove flavours mirror the aroma and linger gently across the mid-palate without becoming cloying. Bitterness is kept deliberately low at 14 IBU, allowing the yeast-derived character to lead; a light mineral dryness appears on the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately short, with the wheaten sweetness receding and a dry, slightly peppery clove note lingering briefly. Refreshing carbonation lifts the palate, leaving no heaviness behind.

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.
