Weizen Up

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to copper hue with moderate haze from suspended yeast, characteristic of the style. A thick, creamy head forms readily and clings to the glass throughout the pour. Carbonation is moderate and persistent, creating a fine bead that supports the foam structure.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinctive banana esters and black pepper clove notes typical of Weizenbock fermentation. Dark caramel and toasted malt emerge behind, underpinned by a subtle herbal and floral character from the Spalter and Tettnang hops. No sharp alcohol presence despite the 8% ABV; the aromatic profile remains harmonious and inviting.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft wheat sweetness balanced by toasted malt and dark caramel notes from the Munich and Carafa Special malts. Bitterness remains subdued at 20 IBU, allowing the malt complexity to dominate without cloying. The noble hops provide a restrained herbal and floral finish that prevents palate fatigue in this full-bodied beer.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length with lingering caramel and subtle herbal notes that fade gradually. A gentle dryness emerges from the hops, leaving the palate warm and satisfied without astringency.
