Muifel Weizen

Tap to rate

A hint of banana from the German yeast, plus coriander for an extra citrus feel that returns in the finish: this 5% summer beer is fresh and soft. It joins the German weizen with the Belgian witbier and is brewed with wheat, barley and coriander. The idea took shape in spring 2019: a weizen that fits the Muifelbrouwerij, with a wilful twist.

Bright coriander leads the nose with a distinct citrus edge, layered beneath ripe banana esters from the German yeast strain. Subtle clove spice emerges on closer inspection, mingling with soft wheat grain notes. The overall impression is fresh and herbaceous rather than perfumed.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and smooth, with wheat providing a gentle sweetness balanced by coriander's clean, herbal bitterness. Mid-palate reveals layered banana and light clove notes. The 14 IBU keeps this refreshing and crisp without harsh edges, allowing the yeast character and spice to carry through.

Serve at 5–8°C

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Weizen glass

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.
