◐ Taste

The palate opens with wheat malt sweetness and fruit esters, then transitions to a light, dry spiciness from clove and phenolics. Moderate bitterness (14 IBU) emerges mid-palate without harshness, balancing the fruity entry and maintaining smooth drinkability throughout.

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.
