Hornets Nest Hefeweizen

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a soft, hazy appearance characteristic of the unfiltered style. A modest white head forms quickly and holds with gentle adhesion to the glass. Fine carbonation creates a lively, cloud-like suspension of yeast throughout the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe banana esters, a signature of the Hefeweizen yeast strain, layered beneath subtle clove spice. Soft wheat grain and a whisper of honey sweetness emerge in the mid-palate aromatics. Clean fermentation character with no harsh phenolics or off-notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft banana and gentle clove warmth, supported by a light, creamy wheat body that feels smooth on the tongue. Subtle sweetness runs through the mid-palate without cloying; a touch of honey and bready grain adds depth. Bitterness is restrained at 14 IBU, allowing the yeast character and malt balance to shine.

◑ Finish

Clean, relatively brief finish with lingering banana and clove notes that fade gently. A mild, pleasant dryness on the back palate leaves room for another sip.

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.
