Mateo Weizen

◎ Appearance

Mateo Weizen presents a warm dark amber hue with excellent clarity for the style. A dense, creamy white head forms and persists, displaying fine Schaumkleiden along the glass. The beer shows vibrant carbonation with a gentle stream of bubbles rising through the bright liquid.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by ripe stone fruit and fresh banana esters, characteristic of the Hefeweizen style. Soft wheat grain and honey notes emerge beneath, with subtle spice and yeasty complexity adding depth. The aromatic profile is inviting and approachable, never aggressive or overwhelming.

◐ Taste

Entry is silky and smooth, with wheat and banana flavors establishing the core quickly. The mid-palate remains refreshing with a delicate honey sweetness balanced by minimal bitterness (14 IBU). The body is creamy yet light, displaying the characteristic soft mouthfeel of a well-executed Weizen without heaviness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively brief, leaving behind gentle wheat notes and a whisper of yeast. The overall impression is refreshing and thirst-quenching, inviting another sip without lingering bitterness or cloying sweetness.

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.
