Hefeweizen

◎ Appearance

A pale straw color with a distinctly hazy, cloudy body that lets light through without clarity. A fluffy white head rises generously above the rim and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Fine carbonation animates the suspension throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced banana and clove notes—characteristic esters and phenolics from the weizen yeast strain. Underlying sweetness from wheat and Pilsner malt emerges gently, while Hallertau Hersbrucker hops contribute a quiet herbal and slightly floral undertone. The overall impression is aromatic yet restrained, inviting rather than assertive.

◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied and creamy, with the yeast-derived banana and clove flavors dominating the mid-palate. Wheat malt delivers a soft, slightly grainy sweetness that balances the subtle spice notes. Noble hops provide restrained bitterness at 18 IBU, allowing the malt and yeast character to remain in the foreground without aggressive hop presence.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering clove and subtle banana notes fading into a refreshing wheat-malt foundation. The low bitterness and balanced alcohol allow the aftertaste to remain approachable and thirst-quenching.
