Waikiki Brewing Hana Hou Hefe

◎ Aussehen

A pale golden hue with noticeable haze from the unfiltered wheat body and suspended yeast. A creamy white head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine lacing as you drink. Bright carbonation is evident throughout, lending visual liveliness to the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright orange peel and fresh strawberry notes, offering a fruit-forward entry without artificial sweetness. Underlying soft wheat and a faint floral character from the yeast emerge on deeper inhalation, grounding the citrus top notes. A light bready warmth rounds the profile, avoiding heavy spice or clove.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and approachable, with the wheat providing a smooth, pillowy mouthfeel. Strawberry and citrus flavors develop mid-palate with gentle brightness, while a light bready sweetness supports the fruit without dominating. Bitterness remains restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the adjunct fruit to lead; the finish is dry and refreshing rather than syrupy.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste is crisp and moderately short, trailing off with lingering orange and a faint berry note. No cloy or heaviness persists, leaving the palate ready for the next sip.

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.
