Winged Nut Hefeweizen

Tap to rate

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 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.
