Tiroler Hefeweizen Hell

Tap to rate

Banana leads the aroma, joined by a touch of clove and a tangy yeast character in a cloudy, sparkling body. Hops stay very light in the background. The grist is 70 percent light wheat malt and 30 percent Pilsner malt, with Tettnang and Spalter Select hops, and the beer matures in the bottle. The brewery stresses the yeast it has nurtured with care, which gives this wheat beer its house character.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Tiroler Hefeweizen Hell

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a soft, hazy cloudiness characteristic of the style, arising from the house yeast strain. A generous, pillowy head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass walls. Fine carbonation creates a gentle sparkle throughout the body.

◌ Aroma

Banana esters dominate the nose, offering a ripe, almost fruity sweetness typical of Hefeweizen fermentation. Subtle clove and spice notes emerge beneath, paired with a soft, yeasty undertone that speaks to the brewery's carefully cultured strain. Noble hop character recedes politely into the background, contributing minimal herbal or floral impression.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with gentle wheat malt sweetness and a hint of bread crust from the light malts, evolving through the mid-palate with subtle spice and banana notes. Bitterness remains restrained at 10 IBU, allowing the fruity yeast character and soft grain body to dominate. The finish arrives clean and refreshing, without harsh edges or lingering astringency.

Serve at 5–8°C

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

Weizen glass

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.
