Rockafeller Weisse

Tap to rate

An unfiltered wheat beer in the German style at 4.8%. Banana and clove carry the aroma, and the palate adds a zesty citrus note. It is the reworked version of the wheat beer the brewery launched with, which went back to an older recipe of the founder and was brewed again with its original yeast. Magnum and Perle are the hops.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Rockafeller Weisse

◎ Appearance

Pale golden colour with a soft haze characteristic of an unfiltered Hefeweizen. The dense, cream-coloured head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass, leaving fine lacing on each sip. Bright carbonation lifts the suspended yeast particles, creating an inviting, cloudy presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with classic Hefeweizen yeast character: prominent banana and clove notes that are immediately recognisable and well-defined. Subtle citrus undertones complement the spice, while the original yeast strain brings a clean, slightly fruity complexity without harsh phenolic edges.

◐ Taste

The palate balances wheat malt sweetness with a zesty citrus bite that energises the mid-palate. The low bitterness from Magnum and Perle hops remains restrained, allowing the yeast esters and wheat character to dominate while maintaining a crisp, refreshing quality throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and clean, with the citrus note lingering briefly before fading into a subtle spice memory. A light, quenching aftertaste 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.
