Urban Chestnut Schnickelfritz

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with a soft haze from suspension of yeast and wheat protein, presenting the characteristic cloudiness expected of an unfiltered Hefeweizen. The head is dense and persistent, clinging to the glass with fine Schaumhaftung. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting a lively but not aggressive visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by the fruity-spicy signature of Weissbier yeast: ripe banana and green apple notes sit alongside pronounced clove and subtle white pepper aromatics. The wheat base provides a soft, bready undertone without assertiveness. No hop character intrudes; the 12 IBU remain entirely in the background, allowing fermentation esters and phenolics to speak clearly.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with bright wheat malt sweetness balancing low bitterness and a gentle clove-driven spice on the mid-palate. The body remains light and clean, never cloying, with a smooth texture that invites repeated sips. Banana esters provide subtle fruity undertones throughout, while the finish dries toward a pleasant malt-driven subtlety rather than hop assertion.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium, fading gently into a soft, slightly spicy aftertaste with lingering notes of clove and faint wheat bread. No harsh drying or astringency; the overall impression is refreshing and approachable.

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.
