OPAT Weizen

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden-yellow with fine turbidity from active yeast in suspension, characteristic of the Hefeweizen style. A dense, creamy head forms readily and clings to the glass walls with good retention. The overall impression is bright and inviting, with visible carbonation activity.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft wheat grain character balanced by prominent yeast esters that suggest ripe banana and dried stone fruit. A subtle spice note emerges—clove and gentle pepper—layered beneath the fruity and grainy base. The overall effect is clean and approachable, without harsh phenolics or alcohol burn.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with a light, refreshing wheat sweetness that carries through the mid-palate without becoming cloying. Yeast-derived banana and clove flavors integrate smoothly with the grain foundation, while restrained bitterness (14 IBU) keeps the profile in balance. The mouthfeel is crisp and effervescent, emphasizing drinkability over weight.

◑ Abgang

The finish is short to medium, fading cleanly with lingering wheat grain and a whisper of yeast spice. No harsh residue or astringency remains; the overall impression is dry and refreshing.
