Friedrichshainer Hoppy Weizen

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw to light gold in color with a hazy, slightly turbid appearance characteristic of traditional Hefeweizen. The head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass, creating fine lacing down the bowl. Carbonation appears gentle and fine, lending a soft effervescence to the visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with classic Hefeweizen phenols—distinct banana and clove notes from the wheat yeast. Beneath lies a foundation of fresh bread and grain from the multi-malt bill, while Citra dry-hopping adds brightness with citrus and subtle tropical stone fruit. The overall impression is balanced between yeast-driven spice and hop-derived freshness, with neither dominating.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with soft, full-bodied sweetness and a prominent yeast-derived banana character. Mid-palate brings gentle wheat grain warmth and bread crust notes, while Citra hops provide a citrus lift with traces of tropical fruit. The finish carries slightly elevated bitterness for the style without harshness, supported by a clean, refreshing quality that balances the beer's natural sweetness.

◑ Abgang

The finish fades steadily with residual banana and bread notes lingering gently. A dry, slightly firm bitterness persists on the back palate, providing closure that feels more structured than typical for the style, yet remains soft and approachable.

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.
