🌍 Germany · Dunkelweizen · One of 31 Dunkelweizens in hopIQ

A full-bodied top-fermented wheat beer brewed with dark wheat malt at about 12.7 °P, deep brown and cloudy in the glass. Ripe banana and clove from the yeast meet bread crust, caramel and a light nutty, cocoa-tinged malt character. Carbonation is lively and bitterness low, and the finish is rounded and gently spicy. The brewery offers it seasonally and on request.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hummel Dunkles Weissbier

Appearance

Deep brown and cloudy in the glass, with a naturally hazy appearance from yeast suspension. A thick, pillowy head forms with excellent retention and fine lacing that clings to the glass. Lively carbonation produces fine, persistent bubbles throughout.

deep brownnaturally hazycreamy headfine carbonation

Aroma

The nose is dominated by classic Weissbier yeast character—prominent ripe banana and clove notes meld with warming spice. Beneath lies a solid foundation of bread crust and light caramel malt sweetness, with subtle hints of hazelnut and cocoa that add depth without overpowering.

Taste

Full-bodied and wheat-forward on the palate, with the yeast-derived banana and clove notes continuing through the mid-palate. A soft, rounded maltiness develops with bready and gently nutty character, finishing with subtle cocoa notes. Bitterness remains low and restrained, allowing sweetness and spice to take the lead.
