Flötzinger 1543 Hefe-Weisse
1543 Hefe-Weisse carries the year in which Flötzinger received its brewing right. It is a strong, cellar-cloudy wheat beer brewed to an old recipe with a traditional malt blend, which gives it an amber colour darker than most Bavarian wheat beers. The nose is sweetish, with banana and clove from the wheat yeast. On the palate it is full and lively, with bread crust and a soft malt sweetness, and the finish is firm with a light bitterness.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Flötzinger 1543 Hefe-Weisse
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.
