Gold Ochsen Hefeweizen Hell

Tap to rate

Citrus fruits, clove and a hint of pear rise from the glass, and on the palate fruity, ester-rich tones sit alongside a pleasantly spicy yeast note. This top-fermented wheat beer (5.5% ABV from 12.5% original gravity) is naturally cloudy, satin-golden with a creamy head, and brewed with a carefully cultivated pure-culture yeast and regional raw materials.

◌ Aroma

Bright citrus notes emerge first—lemon and subtle grapefruit—followed by a distinctive clove spice characteristic of traditional Hefeweizen yeast. A whisper of ripe pear and subtle banana esters round out the nose, with wheat providing a soft, grainy foundation that does not overpower.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with fruity, ester-rich tones that echo the aromatics—citrus and stone fruit notes dance alongside a pleasantly spicy yeast character. Wheat provides a smooth, rounded malt foundation with light sweetness; bitterness remains restrained at 14 IBU, allowing the yeast-driven complexity to shine. The mouthfeel is creamy and full without heaviness.

Serve at 5–8°C

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Weizen glass

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.
