This light, light-colored wheat beer, deliberately brewed with a slightly stronger texture, achieves a rich aromatic diversity and fullness. A pronounced hop addition also ensures a complex flavor. Grain and fruit notes combine in a refreshingly summery balance.
The nose impresses with expressive fruit aromas of ripe banana, passion fruit, and pineapple. These are complemented by subtle spices: allspice, clove, and star anise. Grain notes and a delicate yeast finish round out the extensive aroma spectrum.
Ripe fruit notes reappear on the palate. Dried fruit (apricot) blends with tropical fruit (a subtle banana). In addition, there is a subtle, rounded hop flavor that contributes to the beer's harmonious flavor. A subtle citrus freshness provides an invigorating mouthfeel.

Bottle. Cloudy amber, lightly fizzy, offwhite cream. Allspice, clove, vanilla banana aromatics. Very classic with emphasis on the dry spices. Medium dry body, still creamy, some minerals. Spices, banana, berry finish, a hint smoke. Good balance. One of the most pleasant 'dry' franconian Weizen I have had.
