Mist

Tap to rate

A classic Weizen with a generous share of wheat malt and a Bavarian yeast, built around the aroma of banana candy. Lively carbonation raises a proper foam crown, and the finish is fresh and slightly sweet. Mist is one of the Valkyries, the battle spirits who carry fallen heroes to Walhalla, and her name fits the cloudy look of the beer.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Mist

◎ Appearance

Mist presents a pale golden hue with pronounced haze from suspension of yeast and wheat proteins, true to its Bavarian Hefeweizen character. A generous, creamy foam crown rises above the rim and clings persistently to the glass walls with fine lacing. Lively carbonation generates a steady stream of bubbles through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by a candy-like banana note—the hallmark of Bavarian yeast esters—backed by soft wheat malt sweetness. Subtle clove and phenolic spice emerge in the background, characteristic of Hefeweizen fermentation. The overall impression is fruity, slightly sweet, and inviting without aggressive hop presence.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and slightly sweet, with banana esters and wheat malt taking the lead across the palate. Mid-palate develops a gentle clove warmth and a faint phenolic dryness that balances the initial sweetness. Bitterness remains restrained at 14 IBU, allowing fruit and malt character to dominate without sharpness.

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.
