◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent clove and fresh banana notes, layered with a subtle wheat grain character. Yeast-derived spice and a gentle herbal edge from noble hops provide structure without dominating the bouquet. The aromatic profile feels clean and restrained, typical of the Hefeweizen style.

◐ Taste

The palate leads with banana and clove flavors that carry through the mid-section, supported by soft wheat malt sweetness. Low bitterness (14 IBU) allows the yeast character and subtle spice to shine, while a light body keeps the beer refreshing and easy-drinking. The finish remains dry without harshness.

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.
