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

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.
