Mohrenköpfle Hefeweizen

Tap to rate

Mohrenköpfle Hefeweizen is the top-fermented sibling of the brewery's amber Mohrenköpfle. It is brewed with 60% wheat malt plus Pilsner, Munich and roasted malt and hopped with Hallertauer Perle. Dark roasted malt gives it an amber colour with a natural haze and a white to caramel-tinted head. The nose is fruity, with banana from the wheat yeast and light roasted notes of bread crust. The palate is full yet lively, fruity and fresh, carrying a gentle malt sweetness.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Mohrenköpfle Hefeweizen

Amber in color with a natural haze characteristic of the style, the result of suspended yeast and wheat proteins. A white to caramel-tinted head forms with good initial density and stable retention. The carbonation is lively, evident in the fine bead rising through the cloudy body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinct banana character derived from the wheat yeast fermentation, a hallmark of the Hefeweizen style. Supporting notes of bread crust and light roasted malt provide earthiness and subtle toasted grain depth. The overall aromatic profile is fruity and inviting, without aggressive hop presence.

◐ Taste

The palate enters full and smooth, with a gentle malt sweetness that carries through the mid-palate without becoming cloying. Fruity esters echo the aroma while the low bitterness from Hallertauer Perle hops remains in the background, allowing the wheat malt character and yeast-derived flavors to dominate. The mouthfeel is lively and fresh, balancing substance with drinkability.

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with residual banana and bread notes fading gracefully. No harsh tannins or sharp bitterness linger; instead, a soft, refreshing conclusion invites the next sip.

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.
