Schöfferhofer Weizen Naturtrüb

Schöfferhofer Brauerei
Germany·Hefeweizen
Tap to rate

The unfiltered flagship of the range, exported as Schöfferhofer Hefeweizen. The brewery states that some yeast remains in the bottle and that a larger hop addition makes it slightly more bitter than most wheat beers. It pours hazy amber under a tall white head. The nose brings banana, clove and a little bubblegum over wheat bread, and the palate adds orange, a hint of honey and a gentle tartness before a dry, lightly bitter finish with lively carbonation.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and approachable, with banana and clove continuing from the nose alongside a delicate honey sweetness. Mid-palate reveals a gentle tartness and a light hoppy bitterness that builds toward the finish, refusing to overpower the grain-driven character.

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.
