Hefe Weiße
An unfiltered Bavarian wheat beer of deep gold with a visible haze, brewed from wheat and barley malt to 12.5 °P and hopped with Herkules. Sold abroad as Weissbier. Fruity yeast character dominates the nose, with ripe banana and a hint of clove. On the palate a light sweetness of banana and honey meets citrus freshness and a fine, lively acidity, while the hops stay in the background. The finish is refreshing with a subtle spicy note reminiscent of nutmeg.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hefe Weiße
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.
