Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Bio Weizen

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with slight haziness from suspended yeast, characteristic of an unfiltered Hefeweizen. The head forms with generous volume and displays fine, persistent lacing that clings to the glass walls. Bright carbonation animates the body with fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced banana—ripe and slightly sweet—layered beneath delicate floral notes. Soft, grainy wheat malt grounds the profile, while a subtle spiciness emerges from yeast fermentation. The aroma remains clean and fruity, with no solvent or harsh notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and wheaty with immediate banana fruitiness on the palate. Mid-palate develops gentle clove and herbal spice from the yeast character, balanced by crisp, refreshing wheat malt. Bitterness remains restrained at 14 IBU, allowing fruit and yeast esters to dominate without harshness.

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.
