🌍 Germany · Hefeweizen · One of 175 Hefeweizens in hopIQ

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.

The nose leads with ripe banana and clove in balanced measure, followed by subtle bubblegum sweetness and a wheat bread foundation. A faint orange zest and gentle floral hop character round out the bouquet without dominating.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Schöfferhofer Weizen Naturtrüb

Serve at 5–8°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Weizen glass
Recommended for this style

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.
