Hefe-Weizen Dunkel
Hefe-Weizen Dunkel is matured the traditional Bavarian way, with bottle or cask fermentation that keeps the yeast alive while the wheat beer ripens in storage. Ripe fruit meets malt, with light notes of banana and red berries, sweetness and acidity in harmony, and a caramel aroma in the finish. 5.2% ABV.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hefe-Weizen Dunkel
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.
