Pale golden yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, stable white head that clings to the glass with good retention. The carbonation is lively and evenly distributed, creating a persistent stream of fine bubbles that characterizes the Hefeweizen style.

◌ Aroma

Pronounced fruity yeast character dominates the nose, with prominent banana esters alongside subtle clove and spice notes typical of the style. The wheat base provides a soft, slightly grainy backdrop without harshness, and the overall impression is fresh and inviting rather than heavy or estery.

◐ Taste

Enters with a lightly sweet, fruit-forward palate where banana and wheat flavors interplay seamlessly. The mouthfeel is crisp and refreshing with restrained bitterness (14 IBU), allowing the yeast-derived character to remain front and center; the sweetness is balanced rather than cloying.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with gentle lingering notes of banana and a whisper of clove that fade smoothly. Despite the alcohol-free status, the beer maintains a satisfying presence and does not collapse into flatness.

Serve at 5–8°C

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Weizen glass

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.
