Schöfferhofer Weizen Dunkel

◎ Aussehen

Pours a hazy dark brown, characteristic of the Dunkelweizen style. The cloudiness derives from suspended yeast and wheat protein, creating a soft, opaque appearance. Head formation is moderate with fair retention and even lacing around the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with caramel and bread crust from dark malt, supported by ripe banana from the weizen yeast character. A faint citrus note rounds out the aromatic profile, adding freshness without dominating the malty foundation. The overall impression is warm and inviting rather than assertive.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is moderately sweet with light tartness providing balance on the palate. The body is medium and full-bodied for a 5% beer, driven by the dark malt character. Banana returns in the mid-palate, accompanied by subtle herbal notes that prevent cloying sweetness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is short to medium, with banana and herbal notes persisting briefly. Clean and refreshing without lingering sweetness, leaving the palate prepared for the next sip.
