🌍 Germany · Alcohol-Free Wheat Beer · One of 26 Alcohol-Free Wheat Beers in hopIQ

Hefeweizen Alkoholfrei is the non-alcoholic version of the brewery's Hefeweizen, a top-fermented wheat beer with less than 0.5% alcohol. It is brewed from wheat and Pilsner malt with Opal and Hersbrucker hops, and hop extract appears in the ingredients. Pale wheat-yellow with a natural haze and a fine white head, it smells fruity of banana and citrus. The palate is lightly tart and light-bodied, with a subtle sweet, grainy wort note. Original gravity is 7.0 to 7.4 °P.

Pale wheat-yellow in color with a distinctly hazy appearance born from suspension through yeast. The fine white head forms readily and clings to the glass with natural adhesion. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinctive banana esters typical of wheat beer fermentation, accompanied by bright citrus notes that add complexity without harshness. A subtle grainy wort character underpins the profile, while noble hop character remains restrained and supportive rather than assertive.
