🌍 Germany · Alcohol-Free Wheat Beer · One of 15 Alcohol-Free Wheat Beers in hopIQ

The alcohol-free counterpart of the naturally cloudy Weissbier is sold at under 0.5 percent. It pours a hazy golden to light amber colour under a lively white head. The aroma shows cereal and wheat, a bread-like malt note, light banana and a hint of clove from the wheat yeast, with a slight tartness. On the palate it is sparkling and foamy, gently sweet and full in a spicy way, before a slim, clean finish that keeps the bitterness in the background.
