Palmbräu Hefeweizen

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow hue with a soft, hazy appearance characteristic of the style. A dense, creamy white head forms readily and clings persistently to the glass with fine lacing. Lively carbonation is evident throughout, with a continuous stream of fine bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by ripe banana esters, delivering a sweet and fruity character typical of top-fermenting yeast. Behind this lies a subtle spice note of clove, adding complexity and a gentle peppery edge. Soft, grainy wheat notes emerge in the background, complemented by a delicate herbal quality from the noble hop varieties.

◐ Taste

On entry, creamy banana sweetness carries through the mid-palate, balanced by crisp wheat backbone and a subtle spicy yeast character. The noble hops provide a gentle, refined bitterness (14 IBU) that remains restrained, allowing the fruit and spice to remain central. The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering banana and a whisper of clove spice.

◑ Finish

The finish is bright and medium in length, with a gentle fade of banana sweetness and clove spice. A pleasant dryness emerges, leaving the palate refreshed and inviting another sip.
