Wieninger Weißbier Hell

Tap to rate

A classic Bavarian wheat beer, top-fermented with the brewery's own yeast and brewed from pale wheat and barley malt with Spalter hops at 12.5 °P. It is yeast-cloudy and golden yellow under a dense head. The aroma is fruity and floral, recalling banana and peach with a light spicy, clove-like edge. Lively carbonation gives a sparkling first sip, after which the beer turns mild and soft, with full body and almost no perceptible bitterness.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is crisp and refreshing, the carbonation lending an immediate sparkle that quickly softens into a mild, rounded mouthfeel. Pale Malz sweetness underpins the body without cloying; the nominal bitterness from Spalter hops remains nearly imperceptible, allowing the yeast-derived fruit and spice to play freely. The beer finishes soft and approachable.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Wieninger Weißbier Hell

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.
