🌍 Germany · Hefeweizen · One of 219 Hefeweizens in hopIQ

Kaiserdom's Weißbier is a top-fermented wheat beer brewed to 11.5 percent original gravity with yeast from the brewery's own pure culture. It pours golden yellow with orange highlights beneath a dense, creamy head. It shows a clearly fruity nose of ripe banana with a light clove spice. On the palate the fruit carries on into a mild yeast character and a full body with fine carbonation, while the hops stay in the background. The beer is matured slowly before release.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Kaiserdom Weißbier

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.
