Weihenstephaner Hefeweißbier Alkoholfrei

Tap to rate

For this alcohol-free wheat beer the top fermentation runs its full course and the beer matures before the alcohol is removed by vacuum falling-film evaporation, a process developed with the Technical University of Munich. It pours a subtle amber with a fine-pored head. A soft clove note leads the nose, and the palate is lively and fresh, with hints of honey, a fine yeast character and a light wheat body.

The palate is lively and refreshing, with wheat providing a light, crisp foundation and a fine yeast character adding complexity. Honey and clove notes weave through the mid-palate, while low bitterness keeps the finish clean and approachable.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and relatively short, leaving behind a pleasant wheat and yeast aftertaste. The lack of alcohol allows the malt sweetness and clove spice to fade gracefully without warming.

Serve at 5–8°C

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within 4–6 months. Wheat beers are designed to be fresh — the yeast character diminishes with age.
