The Benediktiner Weissbier Naturtrüb is a craft-brewed, top-fermented yeast wheat beer with 5.4% ABV, based on the centuries-old brewing tradition of the Benediktiner monastery Ettal, located at 877 meters altitude in the Bavarian Alps. Its original recipe and the characteristic Ettaler cellar yeast are brought to life today under the monks' supervision at the traditional Licher private brewery. In the glass, it presents a bright amber-orange color with an opaque, yeast-cloudy appearance and a lush, fine-pored white foam crown. An inviting bouquet of strong caramel notes, honey, banana, raisins, orange peel, clove, and mountain herbs transitions into a full-bodied, smooth initial taste that masterfully balances the harmonious tension between malty sweetness, refreshing citrus spritz, subtle clove and herbal spice, and a gentle hop bitterness in the clean finish. The Benediktiner Weissbier Naturtrüb is the perfect choice for those seeking a high-quality, aromatically complex, and craft-masterfully brewed Bavarian wheat beer with genuine monastic brewing tradition. It impresses equally as an excellent companion to salads, fish, seafood, poultry, mild cheese, and desserts, as well as a delightful proof that the monks of Ettal celebrate the art of good living in every sip in a heavenly way.
