Hofmühl Weissbier

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.

◎ Appearance

A pale straw to light golden hue beneath a thick, persistent white head. The beer presents a characteristic cloudiness from the house yeast, creating a soft, luminous appearance rather than a clear brilliance. Fine carbonation sustains the foam collar with steady retention.

◌ Aroma

Ripe banana dominates the nose, supported by gentle clove spice and a subtle herbal hop backdrop. The yeast profile is prominent and clean, layered with soft wheat grain and a whisper of honey sweetness. No harsh phenolics; the spice remains integrated and refined.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft, full-bodied wheat character and banana-forward fruit, balanced by restrained bitterness and gentle clove warmth. The mid-palate is creamy and smooth, with a honeyed sweetness threading through the weave of bready malt and yeast complexity. Low IBU allows the fruity, spicy character to remain the focus.

◑ Finish

The finish tapers gracefully from sweet to slightly drying, with banana and clove lingering softly on the palate. A whisper of spice and bready grain persists in the aftertaste without becoming heavy.
