Dunkles Weizen Steingadener

◎ Appearance

A nut-brown to copper hue with a distinctly hazy appearance from suspended yeast. The cloudiness is characteristic of bottle-conditioned wheat beer, creating an opaque, rustic presentation. Head retention is modest but stable, with a delicate white foam that clings gently to the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft wheat and caramel malt, revealing toffee notes backed by a subtle nuttiness. Banana esters and clove-like spice from the weizen yeast emerge clearly but without aggression, creating a rounded, bread-like aromatics that recalls fresh bread crust and toasted grain.

◐ Taste

The palate is round and soft, malt-driven from the outset with caramel sweetness and nutty depth anchoring the flavor. Wheat character and banana-clove spice from the yeast play supporting roles, while Hallertauer Taurus contributes minimal bitterness at just 12 IBU, allowing malt to dominate throughout the mid-palate without any sharp edges.

◑ Finish

The finish is sweetish and short, fading gently without lingering harshness. A warm, malty aftertaste persists briefly, maintaining the soft, approachable character established on the palate.

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.
