◐ Taste

The palate opens with smooth banana and spice notes that transition elegantly through a velvety, creamy mid-palate with wheat bread undertones. The finish is crisp and refreshing with light, effervescent carbonation, while the zero IBU allows the fruity and spicy esters to shine without any hop bitterness.

Serve at 5–8°C

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Weizen glass

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.

Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.
