Blood Orange Hef

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow hue with a slight haze characteristic of the Hefeweizen style. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with moderate retention, leaving a delicate lacing pattern. Fine carbonation rises steadily through the body.

◌ Aroma

Blood orange dominates the nose with bright, candied citrus notes that jump immediately from the glass. Below the fruit, subtle wheat and clove emerge—soft, spice-forward esters typical of hefeweizen fermentation. A whisper of banana yeast character rounds out the profile without overwhelming the fresh citrus lead.

◐ Taste

Sweet orange flavors drive the palate, carried by light, pillowy wheat maltiness that stays in the background. The bitterness is minimal (16 IBU), allowing the fruit and yeast-derived spice to sit comfortably at the front. Banana and clove appear mid-palate as gentle supporting notes, creating a clean, easy-drinking profile.

◑ Finish

The finish is short and dry, with the citrus receding smoothly and the residual sweetness fading quickly. A lingering, faint clove spice persists on the back of the palate.
