Maisel's Weisse Original

◎ Appearance

A luminous amber body with a reddish tint glows beneath a fine, creamy head that clings to the glass with persistent lacing. The beer shows excellent clarity despite its traditional cloudiness from yeast in suspension. Fine carbonation sparkles throughout, lending visual liveliness to the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with fresh yeast character and delicate banana esters, the hallmark of classic Hefeweizen fermentation. Beneath these fruity notes lies a gentle wheat grain sweetness, complemented by hints of clove and a whisper of nutmeg that suggest thoughtful spice integration rather than aggressive seasoning.

◐ Taste

The palate unfolds with mild spice—malt, fruit, and clove—balanced by the natural sweetness of the wheat base. Gentle carbonation keeps the beer lively and crisp across the mid-palate, while low bitterness (12 IBU) allows the fruity and malty character to remain prominent. The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy without heaviness, inviting continuous sipping.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with a gentle fade of banana and yeast character. A subtle sweetness lingers, leaving no harsh edges—the hallmark of a beer designed for aperitif service and warm-weather refreshment.

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.
