Gutmann Leichtes Hefeweizen
Refreshing and slim, with a fine yeast aroma and an elegant hop note: light, harmonious and typically yeast-bloomy. This light wheat beer joined the Gutmann family in 1992. Like champagne, it is bottle-conditioned: fresh yeast goes into the bottle at filling, where characteristic aroma components and a fine perlage develop.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Gutmann Leichtes Hefeweizen
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.
