Wittmann Hefe-Weisse

◎ Aussehen

A luminous golden hue with natural cloudiness from suspended yeast — the hallmark of an authentic Hefeweizen. The dense, creamy head builds quickly and clings to the glass with fine lacing as carbonation works steadily through the body. Brightness and haziness coexist in perfect balance, signaling both vitality and traditional craft.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with distinct ripe banana — sweet, estery, and inviting. Behind it sits a gentle clove note, warm and slightly spiced, characteristic of the classic Bavarian yeast strain. Soft wheat grain rounds the backdrop, creating an aroma that is approachable and immediately familiar to anyone who knows the style.

◐ Geschmack

Banana and soft wheat dominate the palate from entry through mid-palate, with the sweetness balanced by a gentle clove warmth that lingers across the tongue. The mouthfeel is creamy and smooth, buoyed by vigorous carbonation that keeps the beer brisk despite its sweetness. Bitterness is restrained at 14 IBU, allowing malt and yeast character to speak without obstruction.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and fairly short, fading with gentle clove and residual wheat sweetness. Carbonation carries the beer through to a refreshing, uncluttered aftertaste that invites another 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.
