Ketterer Ur-Weisse Hell

◎ Aussehen

Pours a matte gold with natural cloudiness from the house yeast suspension, characteristic of an unfiltered Hefeweizen. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Fine carbonation creates a gentle shimmer throughout the body without aggressive bubbling.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced fresh fruit—ripe apple and banana notes lead, supported by a subtle wheat grain character. The yeast signature contributes a whisper of clove and a clean, fermented quality without harsh phenols or solvent notes. Overall the bouquet remains crisp and inviting rather than spiced or heavy.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and approachable, with wheat malz sweetness and fruit esters settling onto the mid-palate. Bitterness remains restrained at 14 IBU, allowing the yeast-derived flavors to express themselves without astringency. The body is rounded and smooth, finishing with a gentle fade that leaves no cloying residue.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste fades smoothly, leaving a light, refreshing impression on the palate. No harsh tannins or phenolic bite linger—only the faint memory of banana and a crisp, dry sensation.

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.
