Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Senses Hefeweizen

Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a hazy, cloudy suspension from the yeast in suspension. A thick, creamy white head forms quickly and clings to the glass with persistent lacing. Bright carbonation visible throughout, lending an inviting and lively visual character.

pale goldenhazy, yeast-cloudedthick foam retention

Aroma

Distinctive banana and clove lead the nose, classic hallmarks of the Hefeweizen yeast strain. Beneath these foundational notes, orange peel provides a subtle citrus brightness, while Idaho 7 dry-hopping contributes a restrained tropical and floral complexity. Soft wheat and a touch of spice round out the aromatic profile.

Taste

The palate opens with fruity wheat sweetness and banana character, immediately followed by a wave of orange peel and mango notes from the hop selection. Moderate spice and clove emerge mid-palate without overwhelming; bitterness remains restrained at 14 IBU, allowing the yeast-derived fruitiness to dominate. The finish is crisp and clean, with wheat breadth supporting the overall complexity.

Finish

Clean and moderately short, fading gently into a lingering banana-wheat warmth. No harsh phenolics or astringency; the aftertaste remains refreshing and light.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Senses Hefeweizen

Serve at 5–8°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Weizen glass
Recommended for this style

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.

Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.
