Schneider Weisse TAP1 Hefeweissbier Naturtrüb

Tap to rate

Introduced in 2025 as the modern successor to the brewery's Helle Weisse, this golden, naturally cloudy wheat beer is brewed from regional wheat and barley malt at 11.3 °Plato and hopped with Hallertauer Tradition and Saphir. It is open-fermented and neither filtered nor pasteurised. Delicate fruit leads, with banana and a light clove spice from the house yeast, a hint of citrus from the Saphir hops and soft, bready malt. The body stays light and spritzy, the bitterness restrained.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe banana character, a hallmark of the Schneider house strain fermentation, accompanied by a subtle clove spice that adds complexity without dominating. Behind these esters sits a soft, bready malt foundation with a whisper of citrus brightness from the Saphir hops—understated yet present, inviting further exploration.

◐ Taste

The palate opens light and clean, with banana and wheat malt taking the foreground, followed by a gentle clove warmth that persists through the mid-palate. The Saphir hops contribute a soft citrus note that complements rather than asserts itself. Bitterness remains restrained at 14 IBU, allowing the fruity yeast character and malt sweetness to define the drinking experience without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish tapers cleanly with lingering banana and malt notes, maintaining a light, spritzy mouthfeel that encourages return sips. The aftertaste is dry and bready, free from cloying sweetness.

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.
