Aarhus Hvede

Tap to rate

Aarhus Hvede is a classic wheat beer brewed after a Bavarian model, pale and unfiltered with a creamy head. The special wheat yeast gives fruity, lightly spiced aromas, and the taste is fresh, round and slightly sweet, with a soft, full mouthfeel from the wheat malt and a pleasant finish. It is a seasonal beer, sold from May through August, brewed with barley malt, wheat malt and fine aroma hops.

Serve at 5–8°C

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Weizen glass

Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.

Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.
