Mohrenbräu Weizen

Tap to rate

Clove and banana lead the nose, then the palate turns fruity, brisk and lively with a yeasty lift and a slim, aromatic aftertaste. Naturally cloudy, light amber with a firm white head, brewed from wheat and barley malt, hops and yeast at 5.0% and 12.4° Stammwürze.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by distinctive phenolic clove notes paired with ripe banana esters, both hallmarks of the Hefeweizen yeast strain. Behind these primary aromas, soft wheat malt notes emerge, creating a warm, approachable bouquet without aggressive hop character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with the promised clove and banana, followed by a crisp, brisk mouthfeel driven by moderate carbonation and a clean yeast lift. Mid-palate reveals fruity sweetness balanced by subtle wheat maltiness, while the low bitterness (14 IBU) keeps the beer light and refreshing without astringency.

Serve at 5–8°C

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Weizen glass

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.
