Pale straw to light amber hue, bright and translucent with fine sediment characteristic of the style. A thick, pillowy head forms readily and clings persistently to the glass walls with excellent retention. The carbonation is moderate, displaying fine bubbles that rise steadily.

◌ Aroma

Distinctly fruity nose dominated by ripe banana and complementary clove and nutmeg spice—a signature mark of the brewer's Bavarian tradition interpreted through a Czech lens. Soft wheat grain underscores the fruit notes, with a gentle yeasty earthiness adding depth. No hop aroma is perceptible; the profile remains warm and inviting.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with immediate fruity sweetness—banana and subtle vanilla—carried on a smooth, pillowy mouthfeel. Mid-palate reveals wheat grain character that balances the fruit, while the low bitterness (14 IBU) allows sweetness to remain foremost without cloying. The finish is clean and dry, with the spice notes lingering softly.

◑ Finish

Short to medium finish, crisp and refreshing, with the yeast-derived spice notes fading into a whisper of grain dryness. No harsh edges; the beer feels effortless to drink.

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.
