Ott Weißbier

Tap to rate

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 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.
