Bayernkönig Weiße

◎ Aussehen

Deep orange with a hazy, yeast-forward appearance characteristic of the style. A tall, fine-pored head forms readily and clings to the glass with good retention. The cloudiness speaks to the unfiltered, living yeast suspension typical of authentic Hefeweizen.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by fermentation character, with prominent banana and clove phenolics that define the profile. Subtle caramel maltiness underpins the fruity esters, creating a warm, inviting top note. The yeast-derived aromatics are intense yet balanced, avoiding any vinous or overwrought quality.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is velvety and creamy, with a soft, caramel-inflected malt character that fills the mid-palate. Mild bitterness from noble hops (18 IBU) sits in the background, providing structure without assertiveness. The body is full and rounded, driven by the wheat and yeast rather than by alcohol.

◑ Abgang

The finish turns refreshingly tart, with a gentle acidity that cuts through the richness and invites another sip. Aftertaste is clean and brief, leaving a whisper of banana and gentle spice.

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.
