Rothaus Hefeweizen Zäpfle

◎ Aussehen

Rothaus Zäpfle presents a hazy golden-yellow hue typical of traditional hefeweizen, with excellent clarity despite the suspended yeast. A thick, creamy white head forms beautifully and persists impressively, while the vibrant carbonation creates fine effervescence throughout the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with dominant banana and clove aromas characteristic of classic hefeweizen yeast fermentation. Subtle wheat grain and bread notes provide a clean malt foundation, while spicy phenolics from the weizen strain add complexity without overwhelming the fruit-forward character.

◐ Geschmack

The palate delivers a smooth, creamy entry with prominent banana sweetness balanced by clove and white pepper spice. Mid-palate reveals soft wheat bread notes and gentle yeast character, while the refreshing profile remains light and clean with minimal bitterness, allowing the fruity esters to shine throughout.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and crisp with lingering clove and banana notes fading gracefully. The overall impression remains refreshing and smooth without any harsh 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.
