Sauberne Schixs

Tap to rate

Orange-red and naturally cloudy: a special aroma hop brings passion fruit, citrus fruit and banana to the nose. The start is light, then a lively, hoppy fruit taste unfolds and fades into a very subtle bitterness. Hopf has brewed Sauberne Schixs in Miesbach since 2015, from wheat and barley malt, hops and yeast; 10.5 % original gravity brings 4.6 % ABV.

◐ Taste

The palate opens light and crisp, then develops a lively hoppy-fruit complexity across the mid-palate with tropical notes and continued banana-citrus character. A delicate, noble bitterness emerges without harshness, fading cleanly into the finish and allowing the wheat maltiness to settle gently on the tongue.

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.
