Simple Things Weissebier

Tap to rate

An amber-coloured wheat beer brewed with Munich malt and wheat. The grain bill gives a full, bready sweetness that frames the banana-and-clove fermentation character typical of the style. Subtle hints of mango, pineapple and nutmeg sit behind it. Deep and rounded, with a soft, fluffy mouthfeel and restrained bitterness. Despite that weight it stays crisp and refreshing and ends clean and dry. A small share of dark roasted malt accounts for the colour, which is deeper than that of a pale hefeweizen.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Simple Things Weissebier

◎ Appearance

A warm amber hue sits noticeably deeper than a pale Hefeweizen, the result of a small share of dark roasted malt in the grain bill. The beer presents with natural cloudiness from the yeast, lending it an opaque, inviting character. A dense, creamy head forms readily and clings to the glass with good retention.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with the hallmark banana and clove notes of Hefeweizen fermentation, warm and gently spiced. Behind this foundation sit subtle tropical fruit esters—mango and pineapple—alongside a whisper of nutmeg and toasted grain. The overall impression is aromatic yet restrained, with no sharp phenolics or solvent notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with full, bready sweetness from the Munich malt and wheat base, creating a rounded, almost dessert-like entry. Mid-palate maintains good body and softness, with the fermentation spice and fruit character weaving through without dominating. Bitterness remains restrained at 14 IBU, allowing the malt's sweetness to frame the entire experience while a subtle dryness emerges in the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry, shedding much of the mid-palate sweetness in favour of a crisp, refreshing exit. Despite the beer's weight and depth, this dryness maintains excellent drinkability and leaves no cloying residue.

Serve at 5–8°C

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

Weizen glass

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.
