Rauchweizen

◎ Appearance

This traditional Rauchweizen displays a deep amber to brown hue, characteristic of its beechwood-smoked malt base. The beer presents a thick, creamy head with excellent retention, while maintaining good clarity despite the wheat component. Moderate carbonation creates a pleasant visual effervescence.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by assertive beechwood smoke that is never harsh or acrid, blended seamlessly with classic weizen phenolics. Beneath the smokiness, banana and clove esters emerge alongside subtle wheat grain notes, creating a complex and inviting aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with smoky, dry malt flavors that integrate beautifully with creamy wheat beer characteristics. Mid-palate reveals layered notes of banana, clove, and white pepper spice, while the malty sweetness provides balance without cloying. The smoke persists throughout without overwhelming the delicate weizen yeast contributions.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry, with smoke lingering pleasantly on the palate without astringency. A velvety aftertaste showcases the beer's refinement, with the wheat and smoke gradually fading to a subtle peppery conclusion.

Serve at 5–8°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
