🌍 Denmark · Hefeweizen · One of 157 Hefeweizens in hopIQ

A crisp Hefeweizen from Denmark that leads with orange peel brightness and a fruity character drawn from its yeast. The pour itself is generous—tall white foam crowning the glass signals the carbonation at work. The aroma carries that citrus thread alongside subtle fermentation notes, while the palate stays light and refreshing, the fruit theme carrying through to a clean finish. At 4.8%, it's built for warm afternoons and casual occasions when thirst calls for something easy and alive. Serve well chilled straight from the refrigerator.

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a generous, dense white head that crowns the glass. The foam demonstrates strong retention and lacing, a visual testament to the vigorous carbonation at work. The body appears light and inviting, promising the crisp character to follow.

Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes—orange peel predominates—layered over subtle fermentation esters that speak to the yeast's contribution. A delicate spice character emerges in the background, complemented by soft grain notes from the malted wheat. The overall impression is refreshing and clean, with no harsh or oxidative edges.

Taste

The palate enters light and fruity, with the citrus thread from the aroma carrying through the mid-palate alongside gentle banana and clove notes derived from the yeast. Wheat malz provides a soft, slightly grainy foundation without heaviness. Bitterness remains restrained at 12 IBU, allowing the fruit and spice to lead; the finish stays clean and dry.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Weissbier

Serve at 5–8°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Weizen glass
Recommended for this style

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.
