Schlappeseppel Weißbier

Tap to rate

Soft and fruity to floral: a special top-fermenting pure-culture yeast gives the Weißbier its aroma, and wheat malt without husks makes it very gentle. The higher carbon dioxide builds a voluminous head when poured with care. 5.5% ABV from 12.3% original gravity. Its fine fizz makes it a fitting aperitif, and the fruitiness goes well with cake and tarts.

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.
