Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for 12 Strawberry Wheat Beer

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a soft, hazy appearance characteristic of an unfiltered wheat beer. The head is delicate and offers modest retention, with a fine carbonation that carries the cloudiness from the suspended yeast and grain matter. A gentle white foam collar forms and gradually subsides.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced fruity notes, dominated by ripe banana and fresh strawberry. Clove spice emerges clearly beneath, a hallmark of wheat beer fermentation, while the wheat grain itself contributes a subtle bread-like undertone. The overall impression is bright, summery, and inviting without any sharp or harsh notes.

◐ Taste

The palate is smooth and light, with the fruity character leading on entry—banana and clove remain prominent through the mid-palate, supported by a gentle wheat malt sweetness. Strawberry emerges softly toward the finish, offering a refreshing, berry-touched conclusion. Bitterness is restrained and never intrusive, allowing the fruit and spice to take centre stage.
