Nothelfer Bio-Weisse

Tap to rate

An organic wheat beer brewed with certified organic hops from a Lower Bavarian grower. It glows sun-yellow with a distinct yeast haze under a firm, bright white head. The aroma recalls honeydew melon, green banana and perry pear over soft grain notes. The body is fresh, soft and velvety; ripe banana leads on the palate, and the finish turns to pronounced clove and a touch of anise.

A sun-yellow brew with a characteristic haze from suspended yeast, presenting the authentic cloudiness of a traditional Hefeweizen.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe banana and honeydew melon, fruit-forward notes characteristic of the yeast strain. Behind these floats a subtle perry pear quality, grounded by soft, cereal grain undertones that speak to the organic Malz foundation. The Edelhopfen contribute a gentle, supporting aromatics without dominance.

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.
