◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and light-bodied with prominent banana and clove flavors complemented by wheat and bread character. Mid-palate shows a slightly sweet profile balanced by crisp, clean wheat notes, while mild hop bitterness (12 IBU) provides subtle restraint without dominating the delicate yeast-driven flavors.

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.
