Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Augustiner Weißbier

Serve at 7–10°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Weizen glass
Recommended for this style

Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.

Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Augustiner Weißbier

Appearance

This Weissbier displays a pale golden to light amber hue characteristic of the style, with a slight haze from suspended wheat proteins and yeast. A thick, creamy white head forms readily and persists well, while lively carbonation creates a continuous stream of fine bubbles throughout the glass.

Aroma

The nose is immediately inviting with prominent phenolic clove and fruity banana esters derived from the weizen yeast strain. Soft wheat maltiness provides a subtle grain sweetness in the background, while the overall aromatic profile remains clean and well-integrated without any harsh or yeasty off-notes.

Taste

The palate opens with smooth wheat-forward maltiness and a touch of subtle sweetness, followed by those signature banana and clove yeast character notes in the mid-palate. Low bitterness (15 IBU) allows the malt and yeast phenolics to shine, while the medium body and slightly creamy texture provide excellent balance without heaviness.
