Bayern Weisse Hell
Ripe banana on the nose, then full-bodied, pleasantly mild and aromatically sweet on the palate; lively and refreshing, with a soft, subtle, full-bodied finish. A yeast-cloudy wheat beer in gold to orange with a fine white head. Developed by the master brewer in 1996 as Schnaitl's own wheat-beer brand, Bayern Weisse is brewed at a Lower Bavarian brewery so that it can carry a guarantee of origin.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Bayern Weisse Hell
Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.
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.
