Eggens Weizen with Spelt 33cl

Eggens Weizen with Spelt is a special beer from Eggens Brewery's range that combines the classic German Weizen style with the use of spelt, an ancient grain known for its robust flavour and nutritional value. This beer is a perfect representation of the brewery's innovative approach and their commitment to using high-quality, often local ingredients.

Flavour and Aroma

Eggens Weizen with Spelt has a refreshing and light taste, with a soft maltiness and a subtle fruitiness characteristic of Weizen beers. The addition of spelt gives the beer a unique, nutty flavour that sets it apart from traditional Weizen beers. The beer has aromas of banana, clove and a hint of citrus, creating a complex and pleasant aroma profile

Ingredients

The beer is brewed with a combination of wheat and spelt, in addition to the usual barley malt. Spelt, one of the oldest grains, contributes to a fuller flavour and a slightly cloudy appearance. The yeast used for fermentation is a traditional Weizen yeast, which is responsible for the distinctive fruity and spicy aromas. The hops are carefully selected to add a subtle bitterness that balances the flavours.

Brewing process

The brewing process of Eggens Weizen with Spelt follows traditional methods for brewing Weizen beers, but with a modern twist through the addition of spelt. Eggens' brewmasters ensure that the right fermentation temperatures and times are maintained to achieve the desired flavour profiles. The spelt is treated during the brewing process so that it can fully express its characteristic flavour.

Serving suggestions

Eggens Weizen with Spelt is a versatile beer that goes well with a variety of dishes. It goes extremely well with light meals such as salads, grilled fish and white meat. It is also a great companion to summer dishes and pairs well with soft cheeses. This beer is perfect for hot days, but can be drunk all year round as a refreshing thirst quencher.
