Fujizakura Weizen

◎ Aussehen

Fujizakura Weizen presents a beautiful hazy golden hue that captures the classic hefeweizen aesthetic. A thick, creamy white head crowns the glass with excellent retention. The fine carbonation creates an appealing cloudiness characteristic of the style, achieved through traditional bottle conditioning.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by classic hefeweizen yeast character—prominent banana esters mingle with spicy clove notes in perfect balance. Subtle wheat bread aromas provide an earthy foundation, while delicate fruity undertones emerge on closer inspection. The Fuji mountain water terroir contributes a clean, crisp backdrop to these fermentation-driven aromatics.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with soft wheat malt sweetness and that signature creamy texture, with banana and clove yeast character dancing across the mid-palate in seamless harmony. Bitterness is restrained (14 IBU) allowing the wheat and yeast complexity to shine without obstruction. The effervescent mouthfeel remains smooth and refined throughout, with excellent balance between sweetness and spice.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and refreshing with a light, lingering spice character from the clove phenolics. A subtle bread-like sweetness fades gracefully, leaving the palate 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.
