🌍 Germany · Hefeweizen · One of 169 Hefeweizens in hopIQ

Brewed first as a full wheat beer by the traditional house method and dealcoholised only after an extended maturation, which leaves the aroma largely intact rather than cutting it short at fermentation. Fine malt notes meet the fruity wheat-beer esters in the nose. The palate carries a pleasantly light sweetness and the fresh character of the style, with the body running thinner than the alcoholic version. The finish is clean and short.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Paulaner Weißbier 0,0%

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.
