Kapuziner Hefe Leicht

◎ Appearance

Pours a hazy gold, unfiltered and clouded by suspended yeast from the lagering cellar. The head forms quickly and holds with moderate persistence, leaving fine lacing as the beer settles. Vigorous carbonation creates a lively, effervescent presence in the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft wheat grain and bread crust, a malty foundation that grounds the beer's character. Above this sits a restrained but distinct top-fermented note—delicate banana and clove emerge without dominating, supported by the yeast's gentle spice. The overall impression is fresh and approachable rather than aromatic.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and bready, with the wheat malt laying down a light, clean foundation. Yeast-derived banana and clove follow through the mid-palate with restraint, adding subtle complexity without harshness. The beer remains crisp throughout, with minimal bitterness and no astringency—the lightness of body and alcohol (3.1%) keeps it refreshing and easy.

◑ Finish

The finish is short and crisp, with no lingering sweetness or heavy aftertaste. Carbonation carries the final note of mild grain and a whisper of clove before fading cleanly.

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.
