Hirter Weizen
A cloudy wheat beer with a restrained banana scent that comes from the brewery's own untreated top-fermenting pure-culture yeast, which also brings the mildly spicy taste. The body is full and round, the carbonation mild, with a gentle hop note. Brewed with barley and wheat malt and Hallertau aroma hops, unfiltered. 5.4% ABV.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hirter Weizen
Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.
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.
