Fohrenburger Weizen
Fohrenburger Weizen is a naturally cloudy, top-fermented Hefeweizen that has been brewed in Bludenz since 2008, when the brewery commissioned its own yeast cellar. Wheat and barley malt, a light hopping and lively carbonation give a slightly hazy golden beer with a dense, creamy head. The nose offers ripe banana and clove next to orange and lemon; the palate is grainy and yeasty with orange fruit and a touch of sweet malt, and the finish is refreshing with a light, yeasty bitterness.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Fohrenburger Weizen
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.
