Kaiserdom Weißbier

Tap to rate

Kaiserdom's Weißbier is a top-fermented wheat beer brewed to 11.5 percent original gravity with yeast from the brewery's own pure culture. It pours golden yellow with orange highlights beneath a dense, creamy head. It shows a clearly fruity nose of ripe banana with a light clove spice. On the palate the fruit carries on into a mild yeast character and a full body with fine carbonation, while the hops stay in the background. The beer is matured slowly before release.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with fruity sweetness that mirrors the nose, transitioning into a mild, clean yeast character that contributes subtle phenolic notes. The beer carries a full body with smooth mouthfeel and fine carbonation that refreshes without sharpness, while hop bitterness remains minimal and restrained. The overall balance favors fruit and yeast expression over bitterness.

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.
