🌍 Germany · Alcohol-Free Wheat Beer · One of 24 Alcohol-Free Wheat Beers in hopIQ

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.

pale amberhazy with yeastfine carbonation

◌ 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.
