Schneider Weisse TAP11 Leichte Weisse
Brewed since 1986, Leichte Weisse is the house's light wheat beer: a naturally cloudy, bottle-conditioned Hefeweizen with 3.3 % alcohol, brewed from 7.8 °Plato with wheat and barley malt and hopped with Hallertauer Tradition. It pours a hazy golden yellow under a firm head. Banana, clove and a little yeast spice lead the nose over light bread malt, while citrus, apple and pear come through on the palate. The body is slim and brisk, with high carbonation, a mild tartness and a short, spicy finish.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Schneider Weisse TAP11 Leichte Weisse
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.
