Buttenheimer Weissbier

◎ Appearance

Light amber colour with a pronounced yeast haze characteristic of bottle-conditioned Hefeweizen. A dense, creamy head forms with good retention and fine lacing down the glass. Lively carbonation manifests as a steady stream of fine bubbles throughout the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a fresh, fruity hop character and prominent banana esters typical of the style. Clove spice from phenolic yeast compounds sits alongside subtle citrus notes, lending a lemony brightness. Soft grain undertones from the wheat and pale malt provide a clean, bready base without heaviness.

◐ Taste

The palate is light and refreshing with banana and clove playing across the mid-palate. A gentle lemony tartness keeps the beer crisp and moreish, while the wheat malt delivers subtle sweetness balanced by the caramel malt contribution. Bitterness remains very mild at 14 IBU, allowing the yeast character and malt profile to dominate without assertive hop bite.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry, with residual carbonation providing a pleasant prickle. A faint clove and citrus memory lingers without heaviness, leaving the palate refreshed rather than laden.

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.
