Geist Hefeweizen

◎ Aussehen

A hazy, pale golden pour with a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass as you drink. The cloudiness from the yeast suspension is characteristic of the style, lending an approachable, unfiltered appearance. Carbonation is moderate and even throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced banana esters—ripe and slightly sweet—layered with clove spice and a subtle herbal note. Soft wheat undertones support the fruity-phenolic profile, with hints of bread crust and a clean, fermentation-driven character. There is no aggressive hop presence, allowing the yeast signature to dominate.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is smooth and creamy, with banana and clove leading into a soft, wheaten body that feels full without heaviness. Bitterness is restrained at 14 IBU, serving only to balance the fruit esters and a light spice finish. The mouthfeel is voluminous but refreshing, with a yeasty roundness that defines the style.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering banana and a whisper of clove fading into a fresh, slightly bready aftertaste. No harsh phenolics or off-flavors remain.

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.
