Munich Wheat Ale
The beer that carried the brewery through its first decades, a wheat ale of Bavarian cut poured in bright gold. Wheat malt brings a soft, faintly bready sweetness, and the nose leans citrus — lemon zest over a note of raw dough. The hops stay in the background at 18 IBU and set only a light bitterness. The body remains slender and the finish reads clean rather than dry.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Munich Wheat Ale
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.
