Weihenstephaner Vitus

◎ Appearance

Vitus presents a bright, pale gold colour that glows under light, held by a dense, creamy head with fine bubbles rising through the glass. The suspension of yeast gives the beer a gentle haze, characteristic of the style, while active carbonation maintains steady lacing against the glass walls.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with dried apricot and citrus notes, layered with the spicy warmth of clove typical of wheat beer fermentation. Beneath sits a soft, yeasty foundation that adds complexity without overshadowing the fruit-forward character.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and smooth, with distinct clove and subtle banana from the yeast interplay developing across the mid-palate. The wheat malts provide a rich, slightly sweet foundation; bitterness remains restrained at 17 IBU, allowing fruit and spice to lead the charge without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, with the alcohol well-integrated and barely perceptible despite the 7.7% ABV. The aftertaste lingers gently on clove and subtle fruit, fading to a dry, slightly peppery close.
