Wimitz Weisse

Tap to rate

Amber with a distinct yeast haze and a fruity scent of banana and cloves; on the first sip lightly spicy and fruity, with a mild bitterness and the typical wheat-beer sparkle. This Hefeweizen is brewed with natural top-fermenting yeast and is neither centrifuged nor stabilised, so the yeast stays alive in the beer.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with distinctive fruity esters dominated by ripe banana and complemented by warm, spicy clove notes from the top-fermenting yeast. Subtle wheat character and a gentle herbal quality round out the aromatic profile, with no aggressive hop presence—only a soft, supporting backdrop.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a bright, lightly spicy entry with pronounced banana and clove notes that mirror the aroma. The mid-palate is refreshingly fruity and softly rounded by wheat-derived sweetness, balanced by a restrained, mild bitterness that never overwhelms. The signature wheat-beer sparkle enlivens every sip.

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.
