Schlappeseppel Urweisse

Tap to rate

Dark and soft-bodied, the Urweisse meets roasted aromas with a depth that a light, lively Weißbier does not offer. 5.3% ABV from 12.3% original gravity. The brewers made it with a pinch of humour: in their telling, fans of light wheat beers are the agile type, while a friend of the dark one tends to be slower and more thoughtful. It suits hearty dishes with bacon and onions.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Schlappeseppel Urweisse

◎ Appearance

Deep copper-brown with an opaque, hazy body characteristic of the Dunkelweizen style. A tan head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. The cloudiness stems from yeast in suspension, lending visual warmth and substance.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced roasted grain and bread crust notes, layered with earthy malt depth. Beneath runs a subtle phenolic clove character alongside gentle banana esters from the weizen yeast. The aromatic profile balances darker, toasted grain with the fruity, spiced complexity typical of wheat beer fermentation.

◐ Taste

Smooth entry with full malt presence; roasted grain and wheat meet on the palate without harshness. The mid-palate develops soft banana and clove notes while retaining the rich, slightly sweet character from the grain bill. Low bitterness (15 IBU) allows the malt and yeast-driven flavors to dominate, finishing clean and balanced rather than dry.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, with lingering warmth from the roasted grain and a whisper of clove spice fading gradually. No sharp edges or alcohol heat, leaving the palate satisfied and ready for hearty food.

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.
