Flensburger Weizen

Flensburger hits you with restraint—there's a brightness that feels almost mineral underneath the typical weizen banana. The yeast character is present but doesn't muscle in; it's more like a whisper of clove than a shout. You notice the carbonation working harder here, lifting the mouthfeel so it drinks drier than you'd expect. It's the kind of weizen that disappears fast because nothing's demanding your attention.

Traunstein Weizen

Traunstein settles into your mouth with noticeably more substance. The banana is riper, the clove lingers longer, and there's a slightly creamy texture that the extra half-percent ABV seems to unlock. It's still refreshing, but it has backbone—the kind of weizen that feels intentional rather than accidental. You're aware you're drinking something from a brewery with serious heritage.
