Bitterness remains gentle and restrained, allowing the malt and yeast character to lead.
◑ Finish
Crisp and short, with a clean, refreshing exit that does not linger. A touch of gentle bitterness accompanies the fade, leaving the palate ready for the next sip.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of St. Wolfgang Leichte Weisse
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.
Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.
