Gebr. Maisel Weizen

◎ Appearance

This traditional Weizen presents a striking hazy golden appearance characteristic of the style, with suspended yeast contributing to its cloudy presentation. A thick, creamy white head forms and maintains excellent retention, while vigorous carbonation creates a lively, effervescent quality that promises a refreshing experience.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by classic Weizen yeast character, with prominent banana and bubblegum notes mingling with spicy clove and phenolic undertones. Subtle wheat malt earthiness provides grounding beneath the fruity esters, creating a complex and inviting aromatic profile that exemplifies authentic Bavarian wheat beer tradition.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with creamy, smooth wheat malt sweetness that transitions into distinctive fruity and spicy middle notes of banana and clove. Despite zero IBU, the beer maintains excellent balance with a dry phenolic character that prevents cloying, while the wheat backbone provides structure and satisfying depth throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is notably dry and clean, with lingering yeast-derived phenolic and spicy notes that echo the mid-palate complexity. The refreshing carbonation and wheat malt character persist pleasantly without heaviness, leaving a crisp and inviting aftertaste.

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.
