Riedenburger Weizendoppelbock

◎ Appearance

Deep amber hue with a warm, burnished glow characteristic of the style. The beer presents itself unfiltered and naturally cloudy from suspension, revealing fine yeast sediment that catches the light. A dense, creamy head forms readily and clings persistently to the glass walls.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe stone fruit—plum and raisin dominate—layered beneath warming spice notes of clove and white pepper from the wheat yeast. Beneath these fruity and spiced elements lie toasted malt notes with a subtle caramel sweetness, grounding the profile in grain-forward character without harshness.

◐ Taste

The palate is malt-driven and smooth, opening with gentle sweetness that recalls dried fruit and caramel before the brisk phenolic bite of clove emerges mid-palate. Ripe banana and bready cereal notes weave through, while the underlying hop bitterness remains restrained at 20 IBU, creating balance without harshness. Despite the 7.8% alcohol, the beer drinks with surprising softness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and warming, with the mild bitterness lingering pleasantly without becoming astringent. A faint spice tingle and the gentle heat of alcohol fade into a dry, grain-tinged aftertaste.

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

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.
