Herzog Albrecht

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with bright clarity, characteristic of a wheat bock brewed to showcase its malt character. The head forms with fine, creamy retention and leaves a delicate lacing on the glass. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, creating a soft, inviting visual profile.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe stone fruit and subtle citrus notes, arising from both the wheat Malz and gentle dry hopping. Honeyed sweetness underpins the bouquet, with a light herbal freshness that prevents the aroma from becoming cloying. A faint bready, biscuity undertone emerges from the barley component, adding depth without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with honeyed, bready wheat Malz sweetness balanced by a restrained 20 IBU bitterness that provides structure without harshness. Mid-palate reveals ripe fruit character with a light, erfrischend hoppy note that lifts the overall impression. The 7% ABV delivers warming strength while the mouthfeel remains soft and rounded, never assertive or angular.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with the hoppy freshness fading gracefully into a lingering, subtle honey note. A soft, wheaten character persists without becoming sticky, inviting another sip.
