Rauchweizen

Tap to rate

A wheat beer with a gentle hint of smoke, naturally cloudy, full of flavour and with higher carbonation. A darker, light copper colour and malt smoked over beech wood give the brewery's classic Weizenbier a new dimension and a nudge towards Bavaria. It is inspired by the Weizenbier, the only top-fermented beer the brewery brews regularly.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Rauchweizen

◎ Appearance

A light copper hue with a soft cloudiness characteristic of wheat beer, suspended through natural yeast. The head rises with vigour and holds with fine, persistent lacing. Bright carbonation is evident throughout the glass, creating a lively and inviting visual presence.

◌ Aroma

Smoked beech wood emerges as the dominant aromatic element, lending a gently peppery and resinous character without harshness. Beneath lies the classic wheat beer profile: soft banana and clove esters interwoven with warm yeast notes, alongside subtle malty undertones that add depth and sweetness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a smooth, full-bodied entry where smoke and wheat malt integrate seamlessly. Mid-palate reveals layered complexity: banana and clove spice dance with the smoky backbone, while moderate carbonation keeps the beer crisp and refreshing despite its richness. Bitterness remains restrained at 18 IBU, allowing malt and spice to lead.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and lingering, with smoke and grain fading gracefully into a dry aftertaste. A gentle peppery warmth persists, leaving the palate refreshed rather than cloying.
