Kraus Hefeweizen

◎ Aussehen

Pours an opalescent deep gold with a fine, long-lasting head that clings to the glass with visible lacing. The cloudiness from yeast suspension is characteristic of the style, giving the beer a soft, inviting opacity rather than murk. Carbonation is evident throughout.

◌ Aroma

Banana dominates the nose with a ripe, fruity character typical of Hefeweizen fermentation. Clove spice sits prominently behind the fruit, adding a subtle peppery complexity. Yeasty, bread-like undertones round out the aromatic profile without any sharp or estery notes.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens soft and lightly sweet, allowing the delicate Malz character to establish itself. Brisk carbonation then lifts citrus notes and a hint of green banana into the mid-palate, while clove spice resurfaces with gentle complexity. The finish remains refreshing and clean, letting bread and yeast linger without heaviness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is refreshing and crisp, eschewing the cloying sweetness sometimes found in the style. Clove and yeasty bread notes persist without coating the palate, leaving a clean, inviting aftertaste.

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.
