Kirner Weizen

◎ Aussehen

Kirner Weizen presents a deep golden yellow with pronounced haze characteristic of the style. A generous, creamy head forms on the pour and persists with fine Schaumkleiden throughout the glass. The cloudiness arises naturally from yeast in suspension, typical of an unfiltered Hefeweizen.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinct banana esters, complemented by stone fruit notes of apricot and peach. Soft clove spice from phenolic yeast character adds complexity, while wheat malt contributes a light, grainy foundation. The overall aromatic profile is fruity and approachable rather than assertive.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with fruity sweetness echoing the aromatics—banana and peach flavors integrate smoothly with soft wheat malt character. Mid-palate reveals a creamy, full mouthfeel balanced by gentle hop bitterness and yeasty depth. The finish carries subtle clove and a mild, lingering herbal hop note without aggressive bitterness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and refreshing, with moderate length. Residual banana and wheat notes fade gradually, leaving a light, slightly dry aftertaste.
