Die Sommer Weisse

Tap to rate

Passion fruit notes meet fresh lemon and stone fruit, with an intense, tropical fruitiness and a delicate first sip. Cascade, Citra and Willamette hops are dry-hopped cold in the tank and give the sunny yellow, light Weissbier its fruit. A seasonal summer beer from the swing-top bottle, from the brewery that has been brewing in Salzburg's Schallmoos district since 1901.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical fruit—passion fruit and stone fruit lead, followed by fresh lemon zest. The cold dry-hop addition of Cascade, Citra and Willamette brings forward citrus and peach notes, layered beneath subtle wheat and yeast-derived banana aromatics that are characteristic of the style.

◐ Taste

The palate enters delicately with tropical fruitiness and crisp citrus, evolving through peach and stone fruit in the mid-palate. The low bittering (14 IBU) remains restrained, allowing the hop-derived fruit to shine without harshness. A gentle banana and wheat character rounds the flavor profile, with minimal residual sweetness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with the fruity notes trailing into a dry, slightly hoppy aftertaste. The beer's low alcohol (3.7% ABV) contributes to an easy, drinkable conclusion.

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.
