Weizenbier

Tap to rate

The only top-fermented beer the monastery brewery brews regularly, in a range of mostly bottom-fermented beers. Pilsner, wheat and caramel wheat malts meet Hersbrucker hops, and the beer stays unfiltered and unpasteurised.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Weizenbier

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with pronounced haze from suspended yeast and wheat proteins, lending an opaque, cloudy character typical of the style. A dense, pillowy white head forms readily and clings persistently to the glass walls. Carbonation is moderate and evenly distributed, creating a soft visual impression.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with strong wheat grain character, complemented by soft clove and banana esters from warm fermentation. Gentle herbal notes from Hersbrucker hops provide a restrained backdrop, while subtle caramel sweetness rounds the profile without dominating. The overall impression is yeasty and aromatic without harshness.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, with wheat malt and caramel malt building a round, slightly sweet foundation. Mid-palate develops moderate clove spice and fruit character balanced against low bitterness; the beer drinks lighter and more refreshing than its malt sweetness suggests. Finish remains clean and drinkable without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, fading gracefully into a gentle grain and yeast aftertaste. Residual caramel sweetness lingers softly without cloying, leaving the palate ready for the next sip.

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.
