Unertl Leichte Weiße

◎ Aussehen

A pale amber hue with fine turbidity from natural yeast, characteristic of the brewery's house style. The beer presents a modest, tight head that settles quickly but leaves delicate lacing on the glass as you drink. Carbonation is gentle and persistent, reflecting its modest alcohol content and bottle-conditioned nature.

◌ Aroma

The nose is led by prominent ripe banana esters, a hallmark of weizen fermentation, with a supporting note of white pepper spice from the yeast. Beneath these lies a subtle thread of herbal, earthy hop character that grounds the fruity top notes without asserting itself. A faint suggestion of caramel sweetness rounds out the bouquet.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens soft and creamy, with wheat malt sweetness and caramel notes providing immediate texture and depth. Mid-palate the body gradually thins, revealing the beer's light alcohol footprint and emphasizing the clean, dry character beneath the initial sweetness. The clove and herbal notes from fermentation persist gently throughout without becoming dominant.

◑ Abgang

The finish is short and clean, with the sweetness retreating briskly to leave a dry, refreshing conclusion. A faint herbal aftertaste lingers briefly before the palate returns to neutral.

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.
