🌍 Germany · Hefeweizen · One of 226 Hefeweizens in hopIQ

Hütt Weissbier Hell is a top-fermented wheat beer brewed from barley and wheat malts, which give it a malty, spicy fullness. The brewery's own yeast strain supplies the fruit: ripe banana and pear with a hint of passion fruit, set against soft bready grain and a light clove-like spice. The yeast stays in the bottle, and a gentle swirl before pouring brings up the typical haze. Formerly brewed in Baunatal, it has been made at Rheder in Brakel since late 2025.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe banana and pear, hallmarks of the Hütt yeast strain, followed by a subtle hint of passion fruit that adds brightness. Soft, bready grain notes underpin the fruit, with a delicate clove-like spice emerging in the background. The overall impression is of gentle complexity rather than intensity.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with malty sweetness and the yeast-derived fruit character carries through smoothly. Soft bready grain provides body and substance, while the clove spice adds a gentle peppery note that balances the malt without aggressive bitterness. Low IBU ensures the esters and spice remain in the foreground.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Hütt Weissbier Hell

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.
