Angerwirtsweizen dunkel

Tap to rate

A top-fermented, naturally cloudy dark wheat beer at 12.3 °P. The brewery uses 60 % dark wheat malt, which gives it a chestnut-brown colour beneath a strong, fine-pored head. The aroma combines the fruity yeast character typical of a Bavarian Weizen with a light malt flavour of bread crust and gentle caramel. Select and Cascade hops are dosed sparingly and leave little bitterness. Lively and mild on the palate, with the fruit note carrying into the finish.
