◎ Aussehen

Pale straw to light golden hue, characteristic of the style. The beer presents a naturally hazy appearance, typical of an unpasteurised Hefeweizen, with suspended yeast contributing to soft cloudiness. A dense, creamy head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine Schaumkleiden, indicating good protein content from the wheat malt.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by the distinctive yeast signature—prominent banana and clove esters are immediately apparent, characteristic of Hefeweizen fermentation. Supporting notes of soft, grainy wheat malt emerge beneath, while subtle noble hop aromatics provide gentle herbaceous undertones. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with no harsh phenolics.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and gently sweet from the wheat malt, with a light body that belies the 5.8% ABV. Mid-palate develops the yeast-derived banana and clove character more fully, balanced by the soft bitterness of the noble Edelhopfen (12 IBU). The finish remains clean, allowing the fruity esters to linger without astringency.

◑ Abgang

Medium finish with a lingering banana note and gentle clove warmth. The aftertaste is clean and refreshing, characteristic of a well-made Hefeweizen, without cloying residue.
