Master Gao Hefeweizen

◎ Appearance

Hazy golden hue with fine cloudiness from active yeast in suspension, creating a soft, diffuse luminosity. The head is stable and persistent, clinging to the glass with fine, delicate lacing as you drink. Moderate carbonation produces a gentle fizz that sustains the dense, creamy foam.

◌ Aroma

Pronounced banana ester dominates the nose, characteristic of warm fermentation and classic Bavarian yeast culture. Clove spice rises cleanly behind, with soft herbal and peppery notes that provide complexity without aggression. Subtle wheat grain and a light honey sweetness round out the bouquet, inviting and approachable.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and creamy, with pronounced banana and clove flavors layered across a smooth wheat body. Mid-palate builds a gentle spice warmth without harshness, balanced by mild sweetness and a light fruity undertone. Bitterness is restrained at 14 IBU, allowing yeast character and malt smoothness to dominate the drinking experience.

◑ Finish

Clean, moderate finish with lingering clove and banana notes fading gradually into soft grain sweetness. The aftertaste remains dry and unobtrusive, leaving no harsh edges or cloying residue.

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.
