Premium Feature
Weisse Bier, particularly the style brewed at Die Weisse in Salzburg, is known for its refreshing and complex flavors derived from the wheat and yeast used in fermentation.
The flavors are characterized by a balance of fruity esters (banana, clove), spicy phenols, and a slight tartness. The wheat contributes a soft, creamy mouthfeel. The beer is typically unfiltered, resulting in a cloudy appearance and increased flavor complexity. Subtle hints of vanilla and bubblegum are often present. Hop bitterness is generally low to allow the other flavors to shine.
