BIO-Weizenbier

Tap to rate

Banana comes first in this amber, top-fermented wheat beer: strongly fruity and banana-like, followed by a clearly malty body that carries into the finish. A light hop aroma, floral like a May meadow, meets pronounced fizz for a fresh impression. Brewed in Oberelsbach with organic wheat and barley malt, unfiltered, at 5.2 % ABV and 18 bitterness units.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for BIO-Weizenbier

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with pronounced turbidity from suspended yeast, characteristic of an unfiltered Hefeweizen. The dense, creamy head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine lacing. Vigorous carbonation creates a lively, effervescent presentation.

◌ Aroma

Banana esters dominate the nose with bright, fruity intensity. Beneath runs a soft, grainy wheat character paired with subtle floral and herbal notes reminiscent of a spring meadow. A whisper of clove from phenolic yeast compounds adds gentle spice without dominating.

◐ Taste

Banana and stone fruit flavors lead the palate, supported by a clean, malty wheat body that develops through the mid-palate. Bitterness remains restrained at 18 IBU, allowing the fruity esters and yeast character to shine. Clove and subtle yeast phenolics round out the flavor profile.

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.
