Duckstein Weizen

◎ Aussehen

A pale golden hue with a subtle reddish undertone from the crystal malt, presenting itself unfiltered and hazy as expected of the style. The head forms dense and persistent, clinging to the glass with fine lacing. Bright carbonation animates the body throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose is intense and characterful, leading with ripe banana esters typical of the Hefeweizen yeast strain. Soft malt sweetness and a delicate caramel note provide backbone, while noble hop presence remains restrained and aromatic rather than assertive. No harsh phenolic or solvent notes intrude.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with that same fruity banana character balanced against a rounded malty foundation and understated caramel sweetness. Bitterness is minimal at 14 IBU, allowing the yeast esters and malt to dominate the mid-palate. The mouthfeel remains smooth and approachable, with no harsh edges.

◑ Abgang

The finish turns refreshingly light and slender, drying cleanly without lingering sweetness. The aftertaste fades with a whisper of banana and a gentle malt echo.
