Meckatzer Hefeweizen
A pale, bottle-conditioned Hefeweizen built on six malts. It pours amber-yellow with firm, fine-pored foam and smells of citrus fruit, apple, nutmeg and vanilla. The first sip is silky; a velvety body carries banana and pear, backed by light caramel and a fruity bitterness. The finish is soft, with a touch of nutmeg. Because the beer matures in the bottle rather than in the tank, its carbonation is finely integrated. Original gravity 12.5 °P, 19 bitterness units.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Meckatzer Hefeweizen
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.
