Ur-Weizen

◎ Appearance

A luminous amber hue with notable depth, characteristic of the darker Weissbier tradition. The unfiltered, bottle-conditioned character manifests as a subtle cloudiness from suspended yeast, while a firm, fine-pored head forms with good retention and stable lacing down the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with dried fruit notes—raisin and fig—layered beneath a distinctive clove spice that marks the Weissbier yeast profile. A gentle banana undertone emerges beneath the spice, while the Malz backbone provides a subtle sweetness without dominating the bouquet. Regional organic hops contribute only a whisper of herbal restraint.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and malt-aromatic, with a lightly sweet character that flows into a balanced mid-palate. The emmer malt adds textural complexity and mild earthiness, while the clove and banana yeast notes persist gently. Bitterness remains delicate at 9 IBU, allowing the Malz sweetness to carry through without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately lingering, with residual Malz sweetness and a fading spice note. A dry mineral edge from the organic hops emerges in the aftertaste, providing gentle closure.

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.
