Herrngiersdorf Weizen

◎ Appearance

This traditional Bavarian Weizen presents the characteristic cloudy, hazy golden appearance typical of the style. A thick white head forms with excellent retention, indicating proper carbonation and protein content from the wheat and yeast. The turbidity is intentional and authentic, showcasing the unfiltered nature of this classic brew.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by prominent banana esters with complementary clove and phenolic spice notes—hallmarks of traditional weizen yeast fermentation. Soft wheat and bread-like malt aromas provide a subtle foundation, while the overall character remains inviting and true to Bavarian wheat beer tradition. The aromatic profile is well-balanced and approachable.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with creamy malt sweetness and prominent banana and clove flavors that define the weizen character. Mid-palate reveals soft wheat notes and a smooth, effortless drinkability with subtle phenolic spice adding complexity. The entry is soft and welcoming, with zero IBUs allowing the yeast-derived flavors to shine without any hop bitterness.

◑ Finish

The finish is light and refreshing with clean, subtle spice lingering briefly. This beer concludes with gentle phenolic notes and bread-like warmth, leaving no astringency or harsh aftertaste.

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.
