🌍 Germany · Alcohol-Free Wheat Beer · One of 15 Alcohol-Free Wheat Beers in hopIQ

The brewery's alcohol-free wheat beer is made by stopping the fermentation early rather than removing alcohol afterwards, so part of the wort sugar remains in the beer. Like the rest of the range it is cloudy, amber and bottle conditioned. The aroma is malty, with caramel, yeast and a hint of banana; on the palate the residual wheat sweetness sits in front, joined by light fruitiness and a gentle nutty note, while the fermentation carbonation keeps it fresh. The finish is short and soft.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Unertl Alkoholfreies Weißbier

Appearance

A hazy amber pour with a soft, pale head that settles quickly. The cloudiness comes from active yeast in suspension, characteristic of bottle-conditioned brewing. Fine carbonation bubbles rise steadily through the body, lending visual liveliness to this non-alcoholic wheat beer.

Aroma

The nose leads with malty warmth, caramel sweetness, and a distinct yeasty character. A subtle banana ester emerges alongside the grain, adding gentle fruitiness typical of wheat beer fermentation. These elements blend into a soft, inviting bouquet without sharp or bitter edges.

Taste

Residual wheat sweetness dominates the entry, followed by light fruity notes and a delicate nutty undertone. The palate remains smooth and rounded, with no astringency or harsh edges. The gentle carbonation keeps the beer fresh and prevents cloying sweetness from dominating the mid-palate.

Finish

The finish is short and soft, fading gently without lingering bitterness or drying sensation. A mild malty sweetness persists briefly in the aftertaste, leaving the palate refreshed rather than weighed down.
