Leichtes Hefe-Weißbier
Karg's Leichtes Hefe-Weißbier is the lighter side of the Murnau wheat beer family, fermented in the bottle with plenty of fine yeast. It has a fine, hazy, light brown colour and fruity banana aromas. On the palate the carbonation is light and a delicate hop bitterness comes through. The brewery presents it as a refreshing summer beer, made in the same top-fermented way as the other Karg wheat beers.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Leichtes Hefe-Weißbier
Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.
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.
