Uttendorf Weißbier Hell

Tap to rate

The aroma recalls the peel of fully ripe bananas, and the taste adds banana and clove. Full-bodied and refreshing, it finishes in a harmonious tingle. The brewery's own wheat beer is one of the lines that widened the Uttendorf range; as late as 1980 the brewery was a very small one, turning out just 2,000 hectolitres.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced ripe banana peel, a signature Hefeweizen marker from the yeast. Subtle clove and spice emerge underneath, adding warmth and complexity without overwhelming the fruit. Soft wheat notes ground the bouquet in a light, cereal foundation.

◐ Taste

Banana dominates the palate with clove stepping in as a supporting player, creating a harmonious interplay typical of the strain. The body is full and creamy despite the moderate alcohol, delivering genuine substance without heaviness. Low bitterness allows these yeast-driven flavors to shine; the finish builds into a gentle, tingling sensation.

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.
