Garrison Hefeweizen

◎ Aussehen

Golden and hazy beneath a thick, persistent white head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. The cloudiness comes from the weizen yeast and unfiltered character, creating a naturally turbid appearance typical of the style. Carbonation is evident and lively throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced clove and banana esters, hallmarks of the weizen yeast fermentation, accompanied by a subtle bubblegum sweetness that rounds the impression. A faint lemony hop character from Australian Cascade provides gentle citrus lift without dominating. Soft wheat and pale malt notes ground the aromatic profile.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with full body and the characteristic weizen pairing of clove spice and ripe banana, followed by gentle bubblegum notes that add complexity without cloying. The yeast-driven character sits prominently, while the wheat malt provides a soft, pillowy base. Bitterness remains restrained at 13 IBU, allowing the fruity and spicy yeast notes to lead.

◑ Abgang

The finish is smooth and soft rather than dry, with the yeast esters lingering gently on the palate. A subtle citrus warmth from the Cascade hops provides a refreshing fade without harsh edges.
