Weizen-Weissbier 5 º

Brouwerij Frontaal
Basqueland Brewing

This collaborative Weissbier presents a contemporary twist on the classic Bavarian style, balancing tradition with a modern dry-hopped edge. The sensory profile opens with the quintessential fermentation duo of ripe banana and spicy clove, supported by a soft, doughy foundation of malted wheat and Pilsner malt. The dry-hopping process elevates the aromatic profile, introducing vibrant floral and citrus hop layers that intermingle with the yeast esters. On the palate, a fluffy, moussy texture leads to a crisp, spritzy finish. It remains remarkably refreshing, maintaining the high carbonation and dry finish expected of a traditional weizen while offering an aromatic complexity that bridges old-world technique with new-world hop forwardness.

Appearance. Pale straw to gold (SRM 3-5). Hazy with a visible yeast shine. Very thick, moussy, long-lasting white head with dense lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Prominent esters of ripe banana and spicy phenols of clove. Moderate bready, doughy, and grainy wheat aroma. The dry-hopping contributes a layer of floral and citrus hop character that complements the yeast-derived spice.

Taste. Initial soft, bready wheat and grainy-sweet Pilsner malt flavor. Low to moderate banana and clove flavor, well-balanced. Low to moderately-low bitterness, slightly firmer than traditional examples due to dry-hopping. Very low floral and citrus hop flavor. Finishes dry and clean with a fluffy, flavorful palate.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a creamy, fluffy fullness. High to very high carbonation provides an effervescent, spritzy finish. No alcohol warmth; no astringency.
