Paulaner Hefe-Weißbier Naturtrüb

Tap to rate

An unfiltered wheat beer that stands velvety gold in the glass with an amber tilt, under a thick white head. The nose opens on a light banana note, with fine yeast character and top-fermented fruit behind it, touched with mango and pineapple. The first sip is soft and carries a balanced sweetness before the beer turns spritzy, sweetness and bitterness holding level with one another. Brewed from wheat and barley malt at 12.5 degrees Plato.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with creamy, wheat-forward sweetness and intense banana-clove flavors that define the style. Mid-palate maintains excellent balance with low bitterness (14 IBU), allowing the phenolic and ester profile to shine, while the gentle wheat base provides structure and a satisfying bread-like body.

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.
