Stiegl Gipfelstürmer

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden with a pronounced haze from suspended yeast particles, creating a cloudy, inviting appearance characteristic of the style. The dense, creamy head exhibits excellent retention and fine lacing that clings to the glass. Bright carbonation is evident throughout, lending visual liveliness to the pour.

◌ Aroma

Noble hop aromatics dominate the nose, expressing citrus and floral notes with herbal undertones from dry-hopping. Beneath this hop-forward character sits the classic Hefeweizen signature—banana esters and soft wheat grain, adding fruity complexity and warmth. The overall profile is aromatic and layered without harshness.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with crisp wheat character and subtle fruity sweetness, immediately followed by a wave of hop bitterness (45 IBU) that feels integrated rather than aggressive. Mid-palate reveals citrus and herbal hop flavors balanced against soft banana notes and a touch of yeasty spice. The finish remains dry and refreshing with lingering hop bite.

◑ Abgang

Clean and crisp, with moderate length and a gently dry aftertaste. Hop bitterness and herbal notes persist without becoming astringent, leaving a refreshing impression.

Kalt bei 7–10°C servieren. Die trübe Weizenbasis und frischer Hefecharakter glänzen, wenn das Bier frisch und kalt ist.

Der Klassiker — vielseitig, angenehm zu halten und hält das Bier kühl. Kein Schnickschnack: nur das Bier.
