What is a Hefeweizen?
Hefeweizens are unfiltered Bavarian wheat beers with 4.9–5.6% ABV. Yeast-driven banana and clove esters define the style, alongside a hazy golden body and soft wheat sweetness.

How to get the most out of Weissbier Resi
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.
Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Weissbier Resi
◎ Appearance
Pours a cloudy pale gold, visibly alive with fine sediment from bottle refermentation. A thick, creamy head forms and clings persistently to the glass, leaving crisp lacing with each sip. The carbonation is soft and fine, contributing to the wine-like, refined presence in the glass.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with prominent banana esters—ripe and sweet without artificiality—layered with gentle clove spice from the yeast. Beneath sits a soft, grainy wheat sweetness and a hint of floral grassiness. The overall character is clean and inviting, with no harsh solvent notes.
◐ Taste
The palate enters soft and creamy, with sweet banana and wheat malt building mid-mouth into an almost dessert-like fullness. Clove and a touch of yeast spice emerge to balance the sweetness, while the refreshing quality keeps the beer from feeling heavy. Low bitterness (14 IBU) allows the fruit and spice esters to shine throughout.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and moderately dry, with the yeast character lingering gently as a reminder of the bottle's living culture. Aftertaste remains soft and wheat-forward, inviting the next sip.
