Rieder Weisse alkoholfrei

Austria·Alcohol-Free Wheat Beer
Tap to rate

Pale gold with a pure white head, fine baguette crust and a touch of caramel on the nose, a gently sweet, approachable first sip and a short finish that turns fine-bitter, with balanced hop notes in between. The alcohol is removed gently so the typical wheat-beer taste stays. Gault&Millau's beer sommeliers placed it first among non-alcoholic wheat beers in a blind tasting.

◌ Aroma

Fine noble hop character emerges alongside faint fruity esters, creating a balanced and approachable bouquet. The absence of alcohol is undetectable—the typical wheat-beer aromatics remain intact and true.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a gently sweet, smooth entry showcasing wheat's characteristic breadiness and light caramel sweetness. Mid-palate develops balanced hop notes with a clean, crisp minerality that prevents cloying. The finish turns fine-bitter with restrained bitterness that complements rather than dominates, leaving a refreshing and dry conclusion.

Serve at 5–8°C

Serve cold at 7–10°C. The hazy wheat base and fresh yeast character shine when the beer is crisp and cold.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within 4–6 months. Wheat beers are designed to be fresh — the yeast character diminishes with age.
