About

Benediktiner Weissbier is a Hefeweizen from Bavaria, brewed by Klosterbrauerei Ettal following a monastic recipe handed down through centuries. The brewery has maintained its brewing tradition for over 400 years since 1609. This unfiltered wheat beer pours a hazy, golden amber with orange highlights. The aroma is dominated by fruity esters—banana and raisin—layered with bready, doughy malt character and subtle caramel notes. The palate mirrors this complexity, with wheat sweetness, clove and coriander spice, and a characteristic yeasty presence. The finish is clean and crisp, with lively carbonation that refreshes the palate. A genuine expression of German wheat beer tradition, reflecting the monastic brewing heritage of Ettal.
