Destihl Weissenheimer

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw-yellow with a soft haze characteristic of the style—the cloudiness derives from the wheat protein and yeast suspension rather than any fault. A generous white head forms at the pour and maintains modest lacing down the glass. Effervescence is moderate and even, befitting a traditional South German interpretation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced clove and banana esters—the signature fingerprint of proper Weissbier yeast fermentation. Beneath lies a soft, grainy maltiness with hints of wheat bread crust. The hop contribution is barely perceptible, allowing the yeast phenolics and esters full expression.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters full and creamy, coating the mouth with wheat-derived body and a subtle yeasty character. Banana and clove flavors persist through the mid-palate without becoming cloying. Bitterness remains restrained at 16 IBU, allowing the malt sweetness and ester profile to dominate; the finish is clean and moreish rather than lingering.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste fades gently, leaving warmth and a faint yeasty dryness on the palate. Refreshing despite its full mouthfeel—a beer that invites the next sip.

Etwas wärmer als ein Lagerbier — 8–12°C lässt die Bananen- und Nelkenaromen der Hefe voll zur Geltung kommen.

An der Basis schmal und oben ausladend — konzipiert für den reichlichen Schaum eines Weizenbiers, während der trüb-goldene Körper zur Geltung kommt.
