Härle Dunkle Weisse

Tap to rate

Reserved in the aroma, surprisingly strong at the first sip: very ripe banana, roast flavours reminiscent of liquorice and caramel, floral notes and a soft finish with a hint of clove. Gentle, traditional top fermentation and a relatively high share of dark roasted wheat malt give this velvety dark wheat beer its character. 5.3 %.

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.
