Kapuziner Kellerweizen

Tap to rate

Kapuziner Kellerweizen is an amber, unfiltered wheat beer with deliberately reduced carbonation, fermented with yeast from the brewery's own culture. It pours opaque in several amber tones under a firm, very creamy, lightly off-white head. The nose brings banana and wheat malt over darker malt. On the palate caramel, roasted hazelnut and a touch of dark chocolate meet fruity accents, with a gentle yeast spice and a faint roast in the background. The texture is soft and full, and the finish long and mild.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent banana and wheat malt, characteristic of the brewery's house yeast strain. Darker malt notes emerge beneath, adding depth—hints of roasted grain and a subtle earthiness that grounds the fruity esters without overwhelming them.

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.
