◐ Taste

The palate opens with sweetness balanced by crisp wheat malt and a subtle honey note that carries through the mid-palate. Orange and pineapple flavors bloom on the tongue, while gentle acidity and light effervescence prevent the beer from becoming cloying, maintaining a refreshing frame throughout.

Serve at 5–8°C

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Weizen glass

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.
