Rittmayer Hefeweizen

◎ Appearance

Light amber with a natural haze throughout, characteristic of an unfiltered Hefeweizen. A fine, creamy head forms and clings to the glass with good retention. The cloudy appearance reflects the yeast suspension and wheat malt composition.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe stone fruit—banana and peach dominate, followed by apricot. Underneath lies a delicate yeast character with grain undertones and a whisper of spice, likely from the Tettnang aroma hops. The overall impression is soft and fruity without aggressive hop or phenolic notes.

◐ Taste

The palate balances sweet fruit with light malt structure. Banana and peach take the lead, supported by a soft, rounded malt body. A fine freshness runs through the mid-palate, preventing any cloying sweetness, while a subtle spice and yeast character adds complexity. Bitterness remains restrained at 14 IBU.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with the fruit notes fading gracefully. A light, dry quality emerges alongside persistent wheat and yeast character, leaving no heavy aftertaste.
