Krombacher Weizen
Krombacher Weizen is a naturally cloudy wheat beer that pours a hazy apricot gold under a tall, fluffy white head. The wheat yeast shapes the aroma with ripe banana, gentle clove spice and a sweet, fruit-gum note. The palate is soft and fairly full, with bready wheat malt, a light tangy edge and more banana and clove, while bitterness stays in the background. Lively carbonation keeps the finish brisk. The brewery, long known for Pils alone, says it made the beer to find out how a wheat beer from Krombach would taste.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Krombacher Weizen
Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.
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.
