Weissbier

This beer‘s name is a take off on its amazing combination of flavors and characteristics. Its color is orange to honey, not unlike that of a Märzen or Oktoberfestbier. Unlike the barley-based Oktoberfest Lager, however, our “Oaktober” is a wheat-based ale, a Weissbier. The oak portion of the name comes from the base malt in the beer‘s mash, which is a pale, oak-smoked wheat malt. The oak smoke aroma dominates both the bouquet and the taste of the Weyermann® Oaktoberweizen. There are also mildly resinous notes and a faint residual sweetness from the wheat malt, as well as refreshing, grassy notes form the hops. In addition, this beer is highly carbonated, which – combined with the beer ́s dense body – makes for an unusually spritzy-effervescent taste experience.

0.33 l bottle from the brewery's web shop, best before September 2025. Hazy, orangeish amber with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish-malty, gently yeasty-spicy, slightly smoky and a little fruity aroma of banana, clove, honey, sultanas and some smoked ham. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently yeasty-spicy, slightly smoky and a bit fruity taste of banana, clove, honey, smoked ham, light vanilla and hints of citrus, followed by a short, gently bitter, a little dry finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Tasty Weizen with a subtle smokiness and restrained hop flavours.

Komlos búza? Hat ezen meg finomítani kell, ugyanis így nem egy hopfenweisse

Tap at the Fan Sho. Great smoke / ester balance. Peaches, cloves, and a wodnerful, subtle smokiness that doesn’t quite approach bacon or smoked salmon levels. Tangy and not too sweet. Great.
