A classic Bavarian Weissbier (Hefeweizen), this deep-orange and yeast-turbid wheat ale with its majestic crown of foam is named for its predominant malt, Bayernkönig (“King of Bavaria”). Released in 1918, this malt is one of the most famous Bavarian heirloom soft winter wheat varieties. The brew’s bouquet is dominated by yeast-derived, intensely fruity, and phenolic aromas of banana and clove. On the palate, the beer cajoles the senses with a velvety, creamy texture, as well as a pleasant, caramel-like maltiness, which transitions into amild and refreshing residual acidity in the finish.
Because of its substantial and rich body, this ale goes well with such traditional Bavarian fare as roast pork, Weisswurst, buttery cheeses, hearty salads, steamy noodles, or creamy desserts.
