Jacob Winter Weisse
Banana comes through in this winter edition of the Jacob Hefe Weissbier, brewed a little bolder and more golden-coloured for the cold season. Hold a freshly poured glass up to the fireplace and the colour glows through. 5.3% alcohol, brewed in Bodenwöhr with local spring water, Hallertau hops and the brewery's own yeast.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Jacob Winter Weisse
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.
Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.
