Raschhofer Weizen Hell

Tap to rate

Golden, almost amber, under a fine-pored white head. In the nose banana stays gentle while clove comes through more strongly, altogether a cosy, bitter-fresh scent. The first sip is refreshing and spritzy; on the palate milk chocolate and ripe banana appear, joined by a mild, fruity acidity, and right at the end pineapple lingers.

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.
