Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan

Hefeweizen·Germany·2.6% ABV·One of 455 Hefeweizens in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Weihenstephaner Hefeweißbier Leicht's clove and banana-y character. A lighter version of the house Hefeweizen, brewed to 8.5 °P original gravity and fermented to 2.6 % ABV. It shows a subtle amber colour under a fine white head, and the nose carries fresh clove and banana. The palate stays fresh and finely malty, with soft wheat, a hint of banana and a gentle yeast note, while the slimmer body and restrained bitterness keep the finish short and clean.
