Funky Buddha Floridian Hefeweizen

◎ Appearance

Golden-yellow hue with pronounced haze from suspension of yeast and wheat proteins. A thick, creamy white head forms readily and clings to the glass walls with fine lacing. Bright carbonation animates the body throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by the characteristic fruity-spicy profile of Hefeweizen yeast: prominent ripe banana with a secondary thread of clove and subtle white pepper. Soft wheat grain undertones provide neutral grain sweetness without assertive noble hop aroma.

◐ Taste

Silky, soft entry with gentle wheat sweetness balanced by restrained clove spice on the mid-palate. The body remains light yet full-textured, driven by yeast phenolics rather than residual sweetness. Bitterness is very low at 14 IBU, allowing fruit and spice to occupy the foreground without astringency.

◑ Finish

Clean, quick finish with a lingering whisper of banana and clove. No harsh alcohol warmth or grain roughness; the aftertaste remains dry and refreshing.

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.
