ISO Weizen Alkoholfrei

Germany·Alcohol-Free Wheat Beer
Tap to rate

A bottle-conditioned wheat beer mashed to 12.7 degrees Plato before the alcohol is taken out, amber in colour and hazy with yeast. The top-fermenting wheat yeast leaves the familiar banana and clove aroma, joined by fresh bread dough, a light caramel note from the darker malt and a faint citrus tartness. At 14 IBU the hops barely register; it drinks soft and lightly sweet with brisk carbonation and a short finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for ISO Weizen Alkoholfrei

◎ Appearance

A pale amber brew, hazy throughout with suspended yeast particles that catch the light. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Brisk carbonation creates a lively bead that rises steadily through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with the classic wheat beer signature of ripe banana and spicy clove, hallmarks of the top-fermenting yeast at work. Beneath lies a fresh bread dough character, joined by subtle caramel undertones from the darker malts and a faint citrus tartness that adds complexity without dominance.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and lightly sweet, the palate dominated by wheat grain and yeasty spice. The 14 IBU hops barely register, allowing the malt's gentle caramel and the characteristic banana-clove yeast profile to define the mid-palate. A light citrus tartness balances the sweetness, drinking smooth without heaviness.

◑ Finish

The finish is short and clean, the brisk carbonation carrying the yeast spice off cleanly without lingering harshness. A touch of dryness follows, leaving only residual sweetness on the palate.

Serve at 5–8°C

Serve cold at 7–10°C. The hazy wheat base and fresh yeast character shine when the beer is crisp and cold.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within 4–6 months. Wheat beers are designed to be fresh — the yeast character diminishes with age.
