Weihenstephaner Hefeweißbier Leicht
A lighter version of the house Hefeweizen, brewed to 8.5 °P original gravity and fermented to 2.6 % ABV. It shows a subtle amber colour under a fine white head, and the nose carries fresh clove and banana. The palate stays fresh and finely malty, with soft wheat, a hint of banana and a gentle yeast note, while the slimmer body and restrained bitterness keep the finish short and clean.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Weihenstephaner Hefeweißbier Leicht
Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.
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.
