Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Craftworks Hallasan Hefeweizen

◎ Appearance

A pale golden haze dominates the glass, characteristic of an authentic Bavarian hefeweizen. The beer presents a cloudy, suspended yeast appearance with a thick, creamy white head that dissipates gradually. Effervescence is evident throughout, with fine bubbles rising steadily through the luminous body.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with immediate banana and spice flavors from the distinctive yeast strain, followed by a smooth, creamy wheat malt midpalate. Minimal bitterness (12 IBU) allows the yeast character to shine, while the refreshing body makes this exceptionally drinkable. The flavor profile remains mild and well-balanced, avoiding any harsh phenolic edges.

Serve at 5–8°C

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Weizen glass

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.
