Fürstenberg Hefeweizen Dunkel

◎ Appearance

A warm chestnut brown with good clarity and a fine, persistent white head that builds readily and clings to the glass with fine lacing. The carbonation is moderate and even, typical of a bottle-conditioned wheat beer. The haze from suspended yeast is subtle but present, adding to the rustic, unfiltered character.

◌ Aroma

Inviting notes of caramel and roasted grain dominate, with the gentle warmth of bread crust and subtle nuttiness from the specialty malts. Below sits a delicate fruity ester from the yeast—more restrained banana than the pale sibling—and a whisper of clove spice. The overall nose is malty and rounded, with no sharp hop character to intrude.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied entry with pronounced caramel sweetness and the warmth of toasted, gently roasted malt across the palate. The wheat gives a soft, slightly creamy mouthfeel and gentle spice undertones. Bitterness remains truly in the background at 12 IBU, allowing the malt character to speak freely; the finish is clean but never dry, with lingering caramel and bread notes.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with residual caramel and subtle roasted grain persisting pleasantly on the palate. The aftertaste is warm and malty, fading gently without astringency or harsh edges.

Serve at 7–9°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

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.
