Glüh Weizen

◎ Appearance

Deep copper-brown body with an amber glow at the edges, characteristic of the Dunkelweizen style. The head is cream-colored and persistent, displaying fine Schaumhaftung along the glass. Slight haze from the yeast suspension contributes to the beer's approachable, unfiltered character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright banana esters from the weizen yeast, immediately followed by warm spice: cinnamon bark, clove, and star anise create a mulled-wine character. Beneath these adjuncts sits a gentle orange zest note, with a soft backdrop of wheat and light Malz sweetness. The Saaz and Magnum hops remain discreet, adding only a whisper of herbal restraint.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and vollmundig, with banana and clove taking center stage on the palate. Mid-palate develops warming spice intensity—cinnamon and anise dominate without becoming harsh—while wheat provides a gentle, dry foundation. The bitterness is subtle (15 IBU), allowing spice and fruit to remain primary; a light hop bitterness from noble varieties frames the finish without assertiveness.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is long and lingering, with spice holding center stage as fruit and Malz sweetness fade. A gentle warming sensation persists on the palate, reminiscent of mulled wine's comfort without heaviness.
