◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft wheat maltiness and light bread character, transitioning smoothly to the signature banana and clove notes mid-palate. Gentle bitterness (12 IBU) provides just enough balance without overwhelming the delicate yeast-driven flavors, maintaining a refreshing and approachable drinking experience throughout.

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.
