Fohrenburger Weizen alkoholfrei

Austria·Alcohol-Free Wheat Beer
Tap to rate

Fohrenburger Weizen alkoholfrei is the alcohol-free counterpart to the brewery's Hefeweizen, brewed from wheat and barley malt at 7.5 degrees Plato to below 0.5 percent and bottled with its yeast, so sediment can form. Mandarina Bavaria hops contribute a fine citrus note of tangerine and orange. Tasters describe a lightly hazy beer with an amber tint, a mild, sweetish malty nose and a soft yeast note; the body is light and grainy, with noticeable residual sweetness and only a faint echo of the fruit of the full-strength version.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft, malty sweetness underscored by a delicate citrus note—tangerine and orange from Mandarina Bavaria hops. A gentle yeast character emerges beneath, adding breadth without assertiveness. The overall impression is mild and approachable, lacking the complexity of the full-strength version.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and light-bodied, with a grainy wheat foundation and noticeable residual sweetness that rounds the palate. Mid-palate reveals a soft yeast character and faint echoes of citrus fruit, though less pronounced than the aroma suggests. Bitterness is minimal, allowing the malt and sweetness to dominate without harshness.

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.
