Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Edition Jahrgangsbier

◎ Appearance

Mahogany-brown with deep amber undertones, presenting a naturally hazy appearance from suspended yeast. A thick, persistent head forms, with good retention and fine lacing along the glass. The cloudiness is characteristic of an unfiltered wheat bock, contributing to its rustic, approachable character.

◌ Aroma

Distinctly fruity and aromatic, with dominant ripe banana notes typical of weizen yeast fermentation. Sweet maltiness underpins the nose, with emerging hints of honey and light nuttiness. After six months of cellar maturation, subtle sherry-like complexity emerges alongside faint toasted grain undertones.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied entry with pronounced banana and sweet malt foundation, followed by creamy caramel notes that develop mid-palate.
