🌍 Germany · Hefeweizen · One of 140 Hefeweizens in hopIQ

Orca Brau's Weißbier, brewed in Nuremberg, Germany, is a Franconian take on the classic Bavarian Hefeweizen style. It pours a hazy, golden-straw colour topped with a pillowy white head that lingers generously. The aroma is lively and welcoming, offering characteristic notes of ripe banana, clove, and a gentle hint of citrus zest. On the palate, soft wheat malt provides a smooth, rounded body, balanced by the lightly spiced yeast character typical of the style. Carbonation is brisk and refreshing, carrying the flavour cleanly through to a mildly fruity, subtly dry finish. At 5.4% ABV, this is an approachable and well-crafted Hefeweizen that reflects both tradition and the creative spirit of its Nuremberg home.

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Hefeweizen?

Hefeweizens are unfiltered Bavarian wheat beers with 4.9–5.6% ABV. Yeast-driven banana and clove esters define the style, alongside a hazy golden body and soft wheat sweetness.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of weißbier

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.
