Faust Hefeweizen dunkel

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to brown, opaque and naturally hazy from the wheat and yeast. A thick, creamy head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine lacing. The carbonation is gentle and persistent, creating a soft, pillowy texture.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by warm spice—clove and nutmeg—layered over ripe banana esters from the Hefeweizen yeast. Beneath lies a soft maltiness with subtle nuttiness and toasted grain notes from the dark wheat malt. The overall impression is balanced between yeast-driven fruitiness and gentle spice warmth.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied and soft on the palate, with flavors of clove and banana merging seamlessly in the mid-palate. The dark wheat malt contributes a subtle nuttiness and toasted character, while the low bitterness (15 IBU) allows the malt sweetness and yeast complexity to shine. The finish remains clean without astringency, refreshing despite the weight.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is medium-length, lingering gently with clove and a faint nutty warmth. A dry, refreshing quality emerges, cleansing the palate without harshness.
