Pilot Weissbier

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with a soft haze characteristic of the style, held suspended by the yeast in suspension rather than settling. A generous, creamy head forms and clings to the glass with fine lacing. The carbonation is moderate and even, supporting the wheat beer's refreshing character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with prominent banana esters, a hallmark of the Hefeweizen yeast strain, accompanied by a subtle spice note—clove rather than phenol-forward. Soft wheat and light barley malt form a neutral, grainy base that allows the yeast to carry the aromatic profile without competition.

◐ Taste

On entry, the palate is smooth and clean, with the wheat malt providing a soft, slightly sweet foundation. Mid-palate shows the same banana and clove character found on the nose, balanced by just enough hop bitterness to prevent cloying. The finish remains crisp and light, with a dry, peppery note from the residual spice.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and of moderate length, allowing the clove and faint pepper to linger without becoming harsh. A clean, refreshing aftertaste confirms the wheat beer's drinkability.
