Wittinger 1429 – Das Original

◎ Appearance

Wittinger 1429 presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation. The head forms with good retention and leaves delicate lacing on the glass as you drink, reflecting the beer's careful carbonation and malt structure.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, grainy malt sweetness punctuated by subtle caramel and light toasty notes that suggest bread crust. Hallertauer Perle hops contribute only a faint herbal whisper, keeping the aromatic profile delicate and malt-forward without asserting floral or grassy character.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and sweetish, driven by the malt's caramel and light toasty character that mirrors the aroma. The mid-palate maintains a full, round body with restrained bitterness at 17 IBU, allowing the special malt complexity to dominate. The finish remains smooth and mild, closing with a whisper of herbal dryness rather than any sharp bite.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is clean and slightly crisp, with residual malt sweetness lingering pleasantly without any harsh edges. A gentle herbal note fades gradually, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.
