Schussenrieder Bodensee-Weizen

◎ Appearance

This traditional Hefeweizen displays a pale golden to light amber hue with characteristic hazy cloudiness from suspended yeast and wheat proteins. A thick, creamy white head forms generously and persists well, indicating proper carbonation and classic Bavarian brewing technique.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by classic Hefeweizen character with prominent banana esters and subtle clove spice from the weizen yeast strain. Supporting notes of fresh bread crust, light wheat, and a hint of spice complexity create an inviting, authentic South German wheat beer aromatics profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with smooth banana and clove notes that define the style, supported by creamy wheat flavors and a soft, bread-like malt base. The effervescent carbonation provides excellent texture and refreshment on the mid-palate, with subtle sweet notes balanced by gentle spice and a light, clean entry.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing with a subtle residual sweetness that complements rather than overwhelms. The aftertaste fades gracefully with lingering banana and clove notes, inviting another sip.

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.
