Hoepfner Hefe-Weizen

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.

◎ Aussehen

A hazy golden pour, unfiltered and naturally cloudy from active yeast in suspension. The head builds quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. High carbonation drives constant movement, lending the beer visual liveliness and a sense of freshness.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by a textbook Hefeweizen character: ripe banana esters lead, supported by subtle clove and spice notes that emerge on closer inspection. Beneath lies a soft wheat grain presence, clean and free from harsh phenolics or oxidation. The overall impression is bright and inviting rather than heavy.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and approachable, with banana and wheat occupying the center of the palate. Mid-palate reveals gentle spice and a creamy mouthfeel that balances the high carbonation without becoming cloying. Bitterness is minimal (14 IBU), allowing the yeast expression and grain sweetness to dominate; finish leaves no harshness or astringency.

◑ Abgang

Medium-length and clean, with the carbonation carrying a faint clove and banana echo into the aftertaste. No lingering sweetness or drying sensation; instead, the beer feels refreshingly complete and ready for another sip.
