Distelhäuser Dunkles Weizen

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to brown, holding a bronze translucence to the light. The head is dense and persistent, with fine bubbles that cling to the glass in a tight lace. Active carbonation sustains the foam throughout the drinking experience.

◌ Aroma

Clove and banana dominate the nose with the characteristic profile of Hefeweizen yeast, followed by toasted grain and a subtle caramel sweetness. The spice remains crisp and forward, preventing the malt from becoming cloying. A whiff of warm yeast rounds out the bouquet.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright clove and ripe banana, balanced by toasted caramel malt that adds depth without heaviness. Mid-palate reveals wheaten softness and a gentle malty sweetness, while the modest 15 IBU keep bitterness restrained. The yeasty character weaves through, maintaining definition against the sweetness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering clove spice and a faint toasted note. No harshness or excessive sweetness remains.

Serve at 7–9°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

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.
