This modern Hopfenweisse revitalizes the classic Weissbier template with a vibrant, contemporary hop profile. A signature foundation of banana and clove yeast esters melds seamlessly with bready malt, while the addition of Tango hops introduces a zesty citrus burst that lifts the aromatic intensity. The use of Monroe hops imparts a distinctive strawberries-and-cream finish, adding a layer of red fruit sweetness to the traditional wheat character. Rich and full-bodied for the style, it maintains a refreshing quality, balancing its heightened fruit complexity with a creamy, effervescent texture that remains faithful to its Bavarian roots while embracing modern aromatic depth.
Appearance.Pale gold (approx. 5-6 SRM) with a thick, moussy, long-lasting white head. High protein content from the wheat creates a persistent, glowing haze and excellent lacing.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity with classic banana and clove phenols. The traditional profile is augmented by a bright citrus zest and a subtle, sweet red berry note. Bready, doughy wheat malt provides a solid, grain-sweet base.
Taste.Initial impression of soft, bready wheat malt and yeast-driven banana. The mid-palate transitions into a zesty citrus flavor, while the finish is characterized by a smooth strawberry and cream character. Bitterness is low-moderate, slightly higher than a standard wheat beer to balance the 6% ABV, leading to a clean, well-rounded finish.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a creamy, fluffy texture. High carbonation provides a spritzy, effervescent mouthfeel that prevents the richer profile from feeling heavy. Light alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated.
