◐ Taste

Soft, smooth entry with prominent fruity and clove character carried by the wheat-derived body. Mid-palate reveals gentle hop bitterness balanced by pleasant fruity acidity, preventing any cloying sweetness. The malt base remains refined, allowing fermentation esters and spice to lead 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.
