🌍 Germany · Alcohol-Free Wheat Beer · One of 8 Alcohol-Free Wheat Beers in hopIQ

An alcohol-free wheat beer at 0.0 % that replaced the earlier 0.5 % Schöfferhofer Weizen Alkoholfrei with a new recipe. The brewery dry-hops it with Cascade, which adds a light citrus edge. It pours pale amber and hazy under a fine, creamy head. Honey, bread and a little banana show in the nose; the palate is clearly sweet, with caramel and banana, before a brief citrus note in the finish keeps it fresh. The body is soft and the carbonation lively.

Aroma

The nose leads with honey and wheat notes, followed by subtle banana esters typical of hefeweizen fermentation. A light bready character rounds out the top notes, while a gentle citrus edge from the Cascade dry-hopping emerges on closer inspection, adding freshness without dominating the profile.

Taste

Entry is distinctly sweet, with caramel and banana flavors building through the mid-palate. The soft body carries these notes smoothly, allowing the malt sweetness to linger without becoming cloying. A brief citrus note emerges in the finish, providing just enough brightness to keep the beer refreshing and balanced.

Finish
