Wheat beer full of the aromas of fresh ripening grain and crispy bread. It is one of the oldest styles of beer in Europe, which, thanks to Amber Wheat, is regaining its Polish character. Amber Wheat inspired by the centuries-old tradition of brewing this beer in Pomerania is a beer in which classic banana and clove notes harmoniously merge with a slightly hoppy bitterness. Brewed using the top fermentation method. Naturally cloudy.
It is brewed using the top fermentation method. This means that special yeast strains are used for its production. They cause the fermentation process to take place at a higher temperature, and the beer contains a greater amount of esters, which are the key to the characteristic, richer bouquet. The aroma features classic notes of ripe bananas and cloves, harmoniously balanced by bitterness. Light, straw color. Delicate, refreshing taste. The lack of filtration makes the beer naturally cloudy. It has abundant head, characteristic for the style.
The history of wheat beer goes back to the beginnings of brewing. From the Sumerians, through Babylonians, Egyptians, to brewers in monastery and court breweries. It was also known in Poland from the earliest times and dominated until the 18th century. Only the popularization of the bottom fermentation method made barley beers popular, which successively displaced wheat beers from the Polish market, but also in Europe. We bring the tradition back to life with our Amber Wheat.
We have been brewing Amber Wheat since 2012.
Wheat beers in German are “Weißbier”, or white beer. And just like white wines, our Amber Wheat is a great addition to fish, seafood or baked vegetables. This combination emphasizes the taste of the dishes.

First, the simple label graphics make for a better presentation right off the bat. A decent malty beer smell at first, but some adjunct alcohol still comes at my nose. Cloudy straw color, some of the haze seems to be from unfiltered particles. Pours a big and persistent hefe head. Nose lacks the usual citrus and esters of the usual hefeweizen. Still, once I get to the drinking part, there’s a pretty nice hefe profile at work, with light yeast esters, but further in I get those fusel alcohols again. Just glad to find a Baltic area beer that isn’t trying and failing to be Heineken.

Barwa słomkowa, mętne, drobna piana, przyzwoicie trwała. W aromacie goździk, dalej banan i pszeniczna słodowość. W smaku gładkie, delikatne, zbożowe, z kontrą od drożdzy, głównie goździk, lekki banan. Kwaskowość na średnim, nie przesadzonym poziomie. Wysycenie wysokie, prawidłowe, treściwość maksymalnie średnia, mogłaby być nieco wyższa. Lekki alkohol się ujawnia po ogrzaniu, w przełyku. Spora pijalność. Przyzwoity balans, nie jest ani za słodkie, ani za kwaśne. Do ideału trochę brakuje, ale jest to naprawdę porządny Hefeweizen, jedno z najlepszych piw od Ambera. Warto wypić, nawet jak się nie jest fanem pszenicznych piw.

Some Polish place in Brooklyn: Pours cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma is banana and spice. Taste is sweet and just a bit spicy at the end. Not a bad hefe. Low acidity.

Piwo nieklarowne z obfita piana, barwa slomkowo-zolta. Aromat piwa pszenicznego. W smaku lekko wodniste, slodkawe, kwaskowe, malo ciala ale poza tym OK. Nie jestem fanem piw pszenicznych ale jest OK.

Straw liquid, very opaque with rich and long lasting head. A looot of yeast in aroma with something like cheese. Also bananas. Final aromatic effect is very pleasant. Almost no bitterness, more malts. Heavy carbonated, average body. Great wheat beer with amazing aroma.
