Eigenweiss
Eigenweiss smells of banana with a light hop note and shows the characteristic clove. The finish is bready with more banana and a light fresh bitterness. A hazy blond wheat beer, rich in carbonation, brewed under the German purity law of 1516, yet with brewmaster Steve Gammage's own character. He keeps the origin of the name to himself, though it likely points to his own way with recipes.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Eigenweiss
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.
