◌ Aroma

The nose leads with toasted wheat and fresh bread notes, followed by pronounced ripe banana derived from the yeast character. Citrus aromatics emerge—orange and subtle lemon—while a slight tropical undertone hints at pineapple. A restrained clove spice rounds out the bouquet, typical of the Hefeweizen style.

◐ Taste

The palate is fruity and refreshing, with banana and citrus (orange and lemon) taking centre stage alongside a wheat-driven malt body. A gentle tropical character and hint of pineapple add complexity without overwhelming the clean, crisp profile. The bitterness is minimal at 14 IBU, allowing the yeast-derived esters and fruit to dominate.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and crisp, with the fruity notes lingering briefly on the palate. A subtle dryness from the wheat and minimal hop bitterness leave a pleasant, refreshing aftertaste that invites another sip.

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.
