Toit Hefeweizen

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue shines through the characteristic haze created by suspended yeast particles, lending the beer a soft, cloudy appearance. The dense, creamy head forms readily and clings persistently to the glass walls with fine lacework. Carbonation appears moderate, releasing small bubbles that rise steadily through the turbid body.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright banana esters, accompanied by a gentle clove-like spiciness from the phenolic profile typical of Hefeweizen fermentation. Soft wheat grain notes provide an understated foundation, while a subtle yeasty character rounds out the bouquet without any harsh or sulphurous qualities.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with the beer's signature banana and clove character, carried by a soft, pillowy wheat malt body that feels creamy on the tongue. Bitterness remains restrained at 14 IBU, allowing fruity esters to remain the focal point. The finish is dry without astringency, with a touch of spicy phenol lingering gently in the aftertaste.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively brief, tapering smoothly without any metallic or harsh notes. A subtle fruity warmth and gentle spice persist in the aftertaste, inviting another sip.

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.
