Mangrove Jack's Craft Series – Bavarian Wheat Beer Kit

Transport yourself to a sun-drenched Bavarian beer hall. Mangrove Jack's Bavarian Wheat is a beautifully smooth, hazy golden Weizen bursting with classic aromas of vanilla and banana, rounded off with a signature lingering clove finish. Full-bodied, aromatic, and utterly authentic.

What's in the Kit

• Premium liquid malt extract — from Mangrove Jack's Craft Series range
• M20 Bavarian Wheat Yeast (10g) — the key to those iconic banana and clove esters
• Requires 1kg brewing sugar — or upgrade to 1.2kg Pure Liquid Malt Extract or 1kg Beer Enhancer for better body, flavour, and head retention
• Up to 40 pints per kit

Tasting Notes

Pours a hazy gold with a pillowy white head. The nose is expressive and inviting — waves of vanilla and ripe banana with a subtle spice. Smooth and full-bodied on the palate, with a gentle, lingering clove aftertaste that's the hallmark of a great Bavarian Weizen.
