Tap to rate

Waves of coriander and orange peel with a tart citrus edge, plus apple and honey notes: spicy, fruity, a little sweet and rounded by malt, with a fruity, spicy, citrusy scent. This organic wheat beer is filtered and golden under a dense white head, a crisp, refreshing alternative to heavier hefeweizens. Hopped with Mandarina Bavaria.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for BB Hvede

◎ Appearance

Golden and bright, filtered to full clarity with excellent visual transparency. A dense white head forms on the pour and clings persistently to the glass, leaving fine lacing as the beer is consumed. Crisp carbonation is evident throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent waves of coriander and orange peel, layered with a tart citrus character. Apple and honey notes emerge underneath, supported by clean wheat grain in the background. The Mandarina Bavaria hop adds a spicy, fruity dimension without dominating the composition.

◐ Taste

The palate leads with crisp wheat grain and a refreshing citrus snap that carries through the mid-palate. Coriander and orange peel develop alongside subtle honey sweetness, balanced by restrained malt character. The 17 IBU provide gentle bitterness that rounds rather than asserts, allowing spice and fruit to remain central.

◑ Finish
