🌍 Germany · Hefeweizen · One of 197 Hefeweizens in hopIQ

The Winterweizen is the brewery's stronger seasonal wheat beer, on tap from the start of January. It is an amber, cloudy Hefeweizen brewed with 60 percent wheat malt and a share of caramel malt, at 13.8 °P. The house top-fermenting yeast contributes delicate banana and clove, which sit against a malty sweetness of caramel and bread crust. The body is medium-full and soft from the yeast, and the banana character stays prominent without turning cloying.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Huppendorfer Winterweizen

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.
