Greifenklau Weizen
The only top-fermented beer in the range, a Bavarian-style wheat beer poured on tap and sold in bottles at the inn. The brewery publishes no description of it, so the flavour follows from the wheat-beer yeast: banana and clove over a soft, bready wheat base, with a naturally cloudy, pale golden pour and a lively carbonation that keeps the light body refreshing. A quiet counterpart to the house lagers rather than a showpiece.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Greifenklau Weizen
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.
Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.
