Gutmann Alkoholfreies Hefeweizen

Germany·Alcohol-Free Wheat Beer
Tap to rate

Refreshing and typically yeast-bloomy: a balanced malt and yeast aroma with a fine hop note, spicy and harmonious. The alcohol-free Hefeweizen joined the Gutmann family in 2009. To keep alcohol from developing in the bottle, the brewery makes an exception here and adds no fresh yeast when filling, unlike its other wheat beers.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Gutmann Alkoholfreies Hefeweizen

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a soft, hazy veil from suspended yeast particles, characteristic of the Hefeweizen style. The head forms quickly and holds with modest retention, showing fine Schaumkleiden along the glass. Carbonation appears gentle and well-integrated, appropriate for the refreshing, sessionable character.

◌ Aroma

A delicate noble hop note emerges in the background, adding refinement without dominance. The overall impression is harmonious and inviting, with no sharp edges or off-notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and lightly sweet from the wheat and malt base, with minimal bitterness (14 IBU) allowing the yeast-derived spice to shine. Mid-palate reveals layered flavors of soft grain sweetness and gentle clove spice, while the finish remains clean and dry. The low alcohol content and restrained bitterness make this genuinely drinkable without the cloying quality sometimes found in alcohol-free beers.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively brief, with a lingering dryness from the yeast and a faint spice note on the palate. No alcohol burn or medicinal edges detract from the refreshing character.

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.
