Hoizhauer Weissbier Hell
Hoizhauer, Bavarian dialect for woodcutter, is the brewery's pale wheat beer, top-fermented and bottled unfiltered with its yeast, so the haze comes from the yeast rather than from chilling. Alongside barley and wheat malt the grist includes some rye. A special mashing step pushes a pleasantly fruity note, which the wheat yeast rounds out with ripe banana and a light touch of clove. The rye adds a faintly spicy, bready grain character, and the finish is soft and harmonious with little bitterness.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hoizhauer Weissbier Hell
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.
