Landweizen
Zirndorfer Landweizen is a Hefeweizen from the Zirndorf brewery in Franconia. The brewery's own chronicle already mentions a good white beer in 1746: a document says it found buyers not only in Zirndorf but in other places, and the brewhouse counted among the most profitable in the region. The brewery itself goes back to 1674, when Margrave Johann Friedrich of Ansbach founded the princely brewhouse, and since 1996 the beers have had their home under the roof of Tucher.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Landweizen
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.
