UFO Hefeweizen

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.

◎ Appearance

A pale golden yellow with deliberate haziness from unfiltered wheat and yeast in suspension. The head rises generously with fine, delicate bubbles and maintains modest lacing around the glass. Bright and inviting, with visible yeast particles creating a soft, cloudy appearance characteristic of the style.

◌ Aroma

A gentle, straightforward nose dominated by soft wheat grain and a subtle citrus note from the northern German ale yeast. Faint hints of banana and clove typical of hefeweizen fermentation emerge on closer inspection, with no aggressive hop character to distract. Clean and inviting, with a delicate floral undertone that speaks to careful brewing.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and creamy, led by the wheat's gentle sweetness and a whisper of yeasty complexity. Mid-palate reveals light fruity notes and a restrained citrus character balanced by minimal bitterness (14 IBU). The finish remains clean and refreshing, with no harsh edges—the mouthfeel stays smooth throughout, making this approachable and quaffable.

◑ Finish

Short to medium, clean finish with a dry, refreshing quality. No astringency or lingering grip—instead a straightforward fading of wheat and a subtle yeasty memory that invites the next sip.
