Hefeweizen
Hefeweizen is the brewery's pale, top-fermented wheat beer in the Baden-Württemberg tradition, brewed with 60% wheat malt alongside Pilsner and Munich malt and hopped with Hallertauer Perle. It pours a pale wheat-yellow with a natural yeast haze under a creamy, fine and stable white head. Banana and citrus lead the nose, with a faint clove-like spice from the yeast behind them. The palate is fruity and light, with a hint of lemon and a gently tart, lively body.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hefeweizen
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.
