Flötzinger Weißbier leicht
Weißbier leicht is Flötzinger's light wheat beer, brewed to an original gravity of 7.9 percent and with around 40 percent less alcohol than a regular Weißbier. The brewery describes it as lively, lean and mild. The wheat yeast gives gentle banana and clove notes over light bread and cereal flavours, with very little bitterness, a slim body and brisk carbonation that leave a clean, short finish.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Flötzinger Weißbier leicht
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.
