◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with natural cloudiness from suspended yeast, presenting the characteristic haze of a traditional Hefeweizen. The head is modest but persistent, with fine carbonation creating a delicate, effervescent presence. The light color (SRM 3) emphasizes the brightness of the wheat and pineapple character.

◐ Taste

Soft and creamy on entry, with immediate tropical and pineapple flavors balanced against the wheat's gentle sourness. The mid-palate is smooth and full-bodied for its alcohol level, showcasing ripe banana notes and subtle clove spice without becoming cloying. Minimal bitterness (6 IBU) allows the fruit and grain to remain in the foreground 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.
