🌍 Germany · Hefeweizen · One of 183 Hefeweizens in hopIQ

Binding Hefeweizen is a top-fermented wheat beer presented on the brand's international website and sold abroad mainly in cans; in Frankfurt it is also poured on draught. Brewed from wheat and barley malt with hop extract and yeast at 11.2 °P, it is golden yellow with the typical yeast haze and a generous creamy head. The brewery describes a fruity, rounded profile with banana and clove over a balanced malt body and low hop bitterness. Tasters add white bread and apricot, and the high carbonation keeps it lively.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Binding Hefeweizen

Serve at 5–8°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

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

Weizen glass
Recommended for this style

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.
