Weizen Alkoholfrei

Germany·Alcohol-Free Wheat Beer
Tap to rate

Alcohol-free Weizen, brewed 'auf Westfälisch' – the Westphalian way. Some drinkers find it a touch sweet, and the yeast sediment gets a gentle shake before pouring. Wheat and barley malt, hops and yeast go in, brewed to the German Reinheitsgebot. Serve at 6–8 °C; it has 30 kcal per 100 ml and comes in 0.5 l bottles.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Weizen Alkoholfrei

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a distinctly hazy, cloudy character from suspended yeast—typical of the Westphalian brewing tradition. A modest white head forms and dissipates quickly, leaving minimal lacing on the glass. The fine carbonation is gentle and restrained, befitting an alcohol-free interpretation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with wheat grain and fresh bread crust, underpinned by a soft, yeasty warmth from the suspended sediment. Subtle fruity esters—hints of banana and clove—emerge beneath a clean, almost delicate malt backbone. Noble hop character remains restrained, contributing a whisper of herbal refinement without assertiveness.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with a pronounced sweetness balanced by the wheat malt's gentle character and the yeast's slightly peppery note. Mid-palate develops a bready, almost biscuit-like fullness, while 22 IBU of noble hops provide a light, dry counterpoint that prevents cloying. The body remains light and refreshing despite the apparent sweetness, finishing clean without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and relatively short, with the sweetness retreating to reveal a dry, malty afterglow. A faint herbal hop impression lingers briefly on the palate.

Serve at 4–7°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.
