◌ Aroma

◐ Taste

On the palate, wheat dominates the mid-section with a light, slightly grainy sweetness and a soft mouthfeel. Clove and banana elements echo the aroma in a balanced way, while the low bitterness (14 IBU) keeps the beer smooth and approachable. The finish is clean and refreshing, with no harsh edges or lingering residue.

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.
