◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft wheat maltiness and creamy bread-like flavors, followed by prominent banana and clove from the yeast fermentation. Minimal bitterness (12 IBU) allows the yeast and grain character to shine, with a smooth, well-integrated mouthfeel that feels balanced and refreshing throughout.

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.
