Hefe-Weizen
Banana-like aromas with a light touch of clove, a fruity, slightly sweet yeast nose and a full, fruity taste that is refreshingly sparkling. Golden yellow and naturally cloudy, top-fermented, with a creamy texture and a fine-pored, stable head. Farny has brewed this Hefe-Weizen since the 1970s, with water from its own springs.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hefe-Weizen
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.
