Widmer Brothers Hefeweizen

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with pronounced haze from suspension of yeast and wheat proteins. The head is substantial and persistent, with fine bubbles that adhere to the glass in delicate lacing patterns. Carbonation is moderate and even throughout, characteristic of the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright citrus notes and delicate floral character, with underlying wheat grain sweetness. Classic Hefeweizen yeast esters introduce hints of banana and stone fruit, while subtle clove spice rounds out the aromatic profile. The overall impression is clean and inviting, without harsh phenolic edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and grainy with notable wheat character, followed by a fruity mid-palate where banana and citrus notes interplay with light spice. The body remains light and refreshing despite the wheat base, with gentle yeast-derived sweetness balancing low bitterness. Finish is clean and slightly peppery from noble hop character.

◑ Finish

Crisp and dry with lingering citrus and subtle spice notes. The aftertaste is brief but pleasant, leaving behind wheat grain and a hint of herbal hop character.
