Schwarzbräu Marie Weißbier

◎ Aussehen

Marie presents a pale golden hue with characteristic haze from its naturally cloudy yeast suspension. A generous, fine-bubbled head forms readily and clings to the glass with good retention. The carbonation is crisp and lively, creating an inviting visual clarity beneath the suspension.

◌ Aroma

The nose immediately expresses the classic Hefeweizen duality: prominent banana esters rise first, followed by clean clove spice from the yeast strain. Underneath sits a soft, bready wheat character that rounds the aromatic profile without asserting itself dominantly. No phenolic harshness or oxidative notes intrude—the yeast work remains crisp and controlled.

◐ Geschmack

Entry brings immediate banana and clove in balance, with the wheat foundation providing a pillowy, mouthfilling base without heaviness. The mid-palate sustains this yeast-driven character while remaining refreshingly light; bitterness is minimal (14 IBU), allowing the spicy, slightly peppery yeast phenolics and fruity esters to dominate. The finish stays crisp and dry, never cloying or doughy.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and comparatively short, fading from clove and fruit into a dry, slightly grainy aftertaste. The refreshing character persists to the end, making this beer approachable for extended drinking.

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.
