Huppendorfer Hefeweizen

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with fine, persistent cloudiness from active yeast suspension. The beer pours with a dense, creamy white head that clings to the glass with good retention, leaving distinct lacing on each sip. Bright carbonation is evident throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by distinctive phenolic clove and fruity banana notes, characteristic of the top-fermenting yeast strain. Beneath these primary aromatics lie soft wheat bread undertones and a subtle citrus note that adds freshness without sharpness. The overall impression is clean and inviting, with no harsh alcoholic heat.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with smooth, pillowy wheat malt sweetness balanced by the weizen yeast's clove and banana phenolics. Mid-palate develops mild bitterness from noble hops, maintaining refreshment without aggression. The finish is dry and clean, with lingering grain character and a restrained bitterness that completes each drink.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste is crisp and moderately short, fading with wheat grain notes and faint clove warmth. The light bitterness provides pleasant closure without harshness.

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.
