Paulaner Hefe-Weissbier - Naturtrüb Paulaner Salvator Thomasbraeu - Germany South German Hefeweizen The aroma and flavor of a weissbier with yeast is decidedly fruity and phenolic. The phenolic characteristics are often described as clove- or nutmeg-like and can be smoky or even vanilla-like. Banana-like esters are often present. These beers are made with at least 50 percent malted wheat, and hop rates are quite low. Hop flavor and aroma are absent. Weissbier is well attenuated and very highly carbonated, yet its relatively high starting gravity and alcohol content make it a medium- to full-bodied beer. The color is very pale to pale amber. Because yeast is present, the beer will have yeast flavor and a characteristically fuller mouthfeel, and may be appropriately very cloudy. No diacetyl should be perceived. Brewer may indicate on the bottle whether the yeast should be intentionally roused or if they prefer that the entry be poured as quietly as possible. OG: 1.047-1.056 FG: 1.008-1.016 Alcohol by Weight: 3.9-4.4% IBU: 10-15 Color SRM: 3-9 |
