🌍 Germany · Hefeweizen · One of 183 Hefeweizens in hopIQ

A Franconian Hefeweizen from the Leinleiter valley — top-fermented and naturally bottle-conditioned, with a fruity-banana wheat nose that carries through the finish. Amber-gold under a light haze at 12.5° Stammwürze; the mountain spring water gives it a soft, drinkable close.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Ott Weißbier

Appearance

Amber-gold in the glass beneath a delicate, persistent white head. The natural bottle conditioning creates a light haze throughout, scattering light gently without obscuring the beer's warm hue. Fine carbonation rises steadily, and the head clings to the glass with a delicate ring of lacing.

Aroma

The nose opens with ripe banana and wheat, the ester signature of warm fermentation. A gentle clove spice emerges beneath, mingling with hints of fresh yeast and soft bread crust. The overall impression is fruity and approachable, without harsh phenolics.

Taste

Wheat malt dominates the palate, broad and slightly creamy on entry. The banana and clove notes follow through clearly, underscored by a light bready maltiness. Bitterness remains restrained at 14 IBU, allowing the yeast character and soft malt sweetness to define the mid-palate.

Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with the banana note lingering gently into the aftertaste. A soft, dry close courtesy of the mountain spring water keeps the beer drinkable and quenching.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Ott Weißbier

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.
