Paulaner Hefe-Weißbier Alkoholfrei
The alcohol-free wheat beer of the house, descended from the Waitzinger Weiße that the brewery put out in the 1980s. It stands hazy in the glass and looks much like a conventional wheat beer, with plenty of soft, creamy foam and a fine bead. The nose is on the light side, biscuit over banana. The palate is spritzy and mild with a fine malty note and a fresh, not overly sweet balance, closing a touch tarter than the full-strength original. Brewed at 7.5 degrees Plato with Herkules hops.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Paulaner Hefe-Weißbier Alkoholfrei
Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.
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.
