What is a Hefeweizen?
Hefeweizens are unfiltered Bavarian wheat beers with 4.9–5.6% ABV. Yeast-driven banana and clove esters define the style, alongside a hazy golden body and soft wheat sweetness.

How to get the most out of Maisel's Weisse Dunkel
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.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Maisel's Weisse Dunkel
◎ Appearance
Deep mahogany to dark brown hue with excellent clarity, characteristic of a well-crafted dunkel weizen. A thick, creamy off-white head forms readily and persists admirably, while fine carbonation creates an effervescent visual appeal.
◌ Aroma
Classic weizen yeast character dominates with prominent banana and clove notes, layered beautifully with warm bread and subtle caramel aromas. Roasted wheat malt introduces inviting hints of chocolate and coffee that distinguish this darker iteration from its paler cousins.
◐ Taste
Rich and malty entry showcases wheat character complemented by smooth caramel sweetness and bready complexity. Mid-palate delivers the signature banana-clove phenolic profile while roasted notes provide subtle chocolate and coffee undertones, all balanced by restrained bitterness and creamy texture.
◑ Finish
Clean, moderately dry finish with excellent balance and no harsh edges. The yeasty, bread-like character lingers pleasantly without overwhelming, leaving a satisfying impression.
