Veldensteiner Mandarina Bavaria Weissbier

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden-amber hue with a slightly hazy, fine-grained appearance typical of the Hefeweizen style. The head is substantial and persistent, with tight lacing that clings to the glass. Bright carbonation lifts the wheat proteins, giving the beer a naturally cloudy character rather than a defect.

◌ Aroma

Mandarina Bavaria hops lead the charge with ripe tangerine and bitter orange peel notes that sit pleasantly above the beer's yeast signature. Classic Hefeweizen banana and clove emerge beneath, creating a layered and approachable nose. The overall impression is bright and citrus-forward without being aggressive—the fruit amplifies rather than masks the traditional yeast character.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with a soft, wheaty sweetness that quickly transitions to hoppy citrus brightness on the mid-palate. Mandarina Bavaria delivers gentle bitterness and a subtle resinous quality that cuts through the yeast-derived spice. The finish dries cleanly, with lingering floral and orange notes that prevent the beer from becoming cloying despite its modest ABV.

◑ Abgang

A dry, clean finish that fades to a delicate floral and citrus aftertaste. The beer's low IBU ensures bitterness remains subtle, allowing the tangerine character and yeast complexity to linger without fatigue.

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.
