Urban Chestnut's take on the Bavarian classic — brewed by Florian Kuplent who grew up drinking the real thing in Germany. Banana and clove esters from the authentic hefeweizen yeast strain, unfiltered and hazy with a creamy wheat base. The most authentic German-style hefeweizen made in Missouri.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Winged Nut Hefeweizen

Appearance

Pale golden-amber hue with a distinctly hazy, cloudy appearance characteristic of an unfiltered wheat beer. A thick, creamy head forms readily and clings to the glass with good retention, leaving a fine web of lacing. Fine carbonation provides gentle lift and a soft, pillowy visual presence.

Aroma

The nose is dominated by ripe banana esters with a pronounced fruity sweetness, complemented by warm clove spice and subtle peppery notes from the authentic hefeweizen yeast. Beneath these yeast-derived compounds lies soft bready wheat character with a whisper of cereal grain. The overall impression is clean and inviting, free of acetone or off-flavors.

Taste

The palate opens with pronounced banana and wheat malt sweetness, balanced by low bitterness and a gentle clove spice mid-palate. Creamy mouthfeel from the wheat base gives body and smoothness, while bready, yeasty undertones add complexity without heaviness. The finish is clean and refreshing, with minimal lingering hop character.

Finish

The finish is crisp and refreshing, with the banana-clove character fading gently into a light, clean aftertaste. Residual wheat sweetness lingers briefly without cloying.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Winged Nut Hefeweizen

Serve at 5–8°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Weizen glass
Recommended for this style

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.
