Weizenzäpfle

◎ Appearance

Weizenzäpfle presents a luminous amber hue with a soft, persistent cloudiness characteristic of the style. The head is notably fine and delicate, clinging to the glass with impressive retention and forming elegant lacing with each sip. Carbonation appears gentle and well-integrated, supporting the refined presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent stone fruit notes, leading with ripe peach and mirabelle plum alongside bright orange zest. A yeasty, grainy foundation emerges beneath, carrying distinctive wheat grain character and a whisper of honey sweetness. Subtle spice—clove and white pepper—mingles with soft banana esters in the background, creating a complex yet harmonious aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens full and round, with the ripe plum character anchoring a generous malt presence that speaks of both wheat grain and darker bread notes. The beer's low bitterness allows the fruity esters and subtle spice to dominate the mid-palate, while the finish transitions toward a satisfying dark bread undertone that lingers gently. Honey sweetness provides roundness without cloying the overall balance.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, fading gracefully from the darker bread notes into a clean, slightly yeasty aftertaste. A gentle warmth and subtle dryness mark the close, leaving the palate refreshed rather than fatigued.

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.
