Ketterer Sebastian Hefeweissbier

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with a soft haze from bottle conditioning, characteristic of the style. The head is substantial and persistent, with fine Schaumhaftung that clings to the glass. Bright carbonation creates a lively bead throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent banana esters, lifted by a subtle clove note from the weizen yeast. Roasted grain undertones and hints of vanilla custard provide depth, with a thread of green apple running through the mid-notes. The overall impression is fruity and softly aromatic, without sharp hop presence.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and malty, with wheat providing a gentle, slightly grainy foundation. Banana and vanillin notes develop mid-palate, balanced by subtle roasted undertones that prevent excess sweetness. Bitterness is minimal at 10 IBU, allowing the yeast character and malt complexity to dominate; the finish turns distinctly dry and refreshing.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is clean and dry, with lingering wheat and a faint roasted echo. No cloying residue—only a crisp, appetizing dryness that invites the next sip.
