Tap to rate

The brewery presents this light-coloured wheat beer as refreshing, with fruity tones. Wheat malt leads the recipe, joined by barley malt and a share of caramel malt, with Žatec Poloraný Červeňák and Premiant hops. The original gravity is 11.5 degrees, and the beer is also offered in 30-litre kegs by the brewery.

A pale golden hue that glows with translucency and clarity typical of the style. The head is modest but persistent, displaying fine carbonation that rises steadily. The beer presents a delicate, open crumb structure with good Schaumhaftung that clings to the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh wheat grain and soft, yeasty notes derived from the Hefeweizen fermentation. Subtle stone fruit and banana esters emerge behind a gentle clove spice, while caramel malt contributes a whisper of sweetness. Žatec Poloraný Červeňák and Premiant hops remain restrained, adding only delicate herbal undertones.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a clean wheat maltiness that builds mid-sip into ripe stone fruit and subtle banana notes. The caramel malt foundation provides gentle sweetness without cloying. Bitterness is minimal and integrated, allowing the fruity yeast character to dominate while crisp minerality and a light phenolic spice frame the finish.

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.
