Ettal Weizen

◎ Aussehen

Ettal Weizen displays a beautiful hazy golden-amber hue, characteristic of traditional Bavarian wheat beers. A thick, creamy white head forms readily and persists with excellent retention. The beer showcases gentle, fine carbonation with a slightly cloudy appearance from suspended yeast particles.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent banana and clove notes, the classic hallmarks of Weizen yeast fermentation. Soft wheat malt sweetness and subtle vanilla undertones complement the spicy phenolic character. A gentle yeasty earthiness rounds out the aromatic profile without any harshness.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters with creamy, wheat-forward sweetness followed by distinctive banana and spice mid-palate notes. The beer maintains excellent balance with gentle fruity esters and vanilla complexity, while the effervescent carbonation keeps it refreshing. Virtually no bitterness allows the yeast-derived flavors to shine throughout.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and refreshing with lingering banana and clove notes that fade gracefully. A subtle sweetness remains without becoming cloying, leaving the palate satisfied and ready for another 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.
