Meinel Weizen

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden-yellow with a distinctive haze from suspended yeast, presenting the classic cloudy character of the style. A dense, creamy head forms readily and clings to the glass with good retention. The beer shows vigorous carbonation (84 volumes CO₂), creating a lively visual presence throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent ripe banana and fresh white pepper, characteristic markers of the wheat yeast strain. Underneath lies a clean, grainy maltiness with subtle herbal-spicy undertones from clove. The aroma remains fruit-forward yet restrained—refreshing rather than perfumed, with no cloying sweetness in the nose.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and wheaty, with immediate banana and clove notes that echo the aroma. The mid-palate develops a crisp, almost mineral quality that prevents the fruitiness from becoming heavy; sweetness remains moderate and well-integrated. Bitterness is gentle (14 IBU), serving only to frame the wheat and yeast character rather than assert itself.

◑ Abgang

Clean and brisk, with the mineral edge persisting into the aftertaste. The carbonation carries the finish forward, leaving a dry, refreshing quality that invites another sip.

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.
