Faust Weizen Hell
Fruity yeast aromas of banana and honey, lively, sweet and refreshing in the mouth. Golden and cloudy with yeast, top-fermented, with a high share of wheat malt. At 12.4 percent original gravity and 5.1 percent ABV the banana leads and the honey runs quietly behind it. The wheat beer comes in the 0.5 litre bottle and in the keg.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Faust Weizen Hell
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.
