Taste

The palate opens with soft wheat grain sweetness and yeasty character that immediately conveys the beer's smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Mid-palate develops gentle phenolic spice and banana notes, while the low bitterness (11 IBU) allows the malt-driven flavors to shine without any harsh edges, creating an exceptionally refreshing drinking experience.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Nissos Weiss

Serve at 5–8°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

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

Weizen glass
Recommended for this style

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.
