Blanche
A wheat beer in the Hefeweizen mould, brewed on pilsner, wheat and carawheat malt with a single noble hop. The yeast does the talking: ripe banana and a light clove spice sit over a soft, grainy wheat base. The beer pours cloudy and finely carbonated, bitterness is barely present at 10 IBU, and what lingers is a faint bread-dough sweetness rather than anything sharp.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Blanche
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.
