Weissbier Resi if you want subtle Bavarian authenticity,
Wheatmeister if you want American wheat character.
Both sit at nearly identical strength and bitterness, so this is really about yeast expression and origin story. Resi leans into that classic Hösl house character—restrained, refined. Wheatmeister swings for the fruit-forward American hefeweizen playbook. Neither feels lazy; they're just different philosophies.

Weissbier Resi
Resi has this understated elegance that creeps up on you. The banana and clove are there, but they're not shouting—they're conversational, sitting under a pillowy wheat body that feels almost creamy without being heavy. There's a minerality underneath that reminds you you're drinking something made with intention in a small Bavarian brewery, not a formula. The finish is clean but lingers with a gentle spice.
Wheatmeister Hefeweizen
Wheatmeister leans into the ripe fruit thing—apricot, stone fruit, maybe a hint of bubblegum. The yeast character is louder here, more pronounced, which some find refreshing and others find a bit much. It's got more carbonation presence too, more of a snap. The wheat backbone is there but doesn't demand your attention the way Resi does. It's a beer that wants to be approachable and fun.
