Schmucker Hefeweizen Alkoholfrei

Germany·Alcohol-Free Wheat Beer
Tap to rate

Cloudy amber with a firm head: fruity, yeasty and slightly sweet on the nose, then typically top-fermented, fresh and very sparkling, with a subtle malty note and a mild bitterness. A gentle process removes the alcohol and keeps the top-fermented aromas in the beer, leaving less than 0.5% ABV. Made from wheat and barley malt, hops and yeast.

◐ Taste

On the palate, fruity and yeasty flavors dominate the entry, with wheat providing a clean, slightly grainy foundation. The mid-palate is crisp and refreshing, balanced by a mild malty sweetness. A restrained bitterness (22 IBU) emerges in the finish, keeping the beer dry and clean without any cloying character.

Serve at 4–7°C

Serve cold at 7–10°C. The hazy wheat base and fresh yeast character shine when the beer is crisp and cold.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within 4–6 months. Wheat beers are designed to be fresh — the yeast character diminishes with age.
