Weissbier Resi

Privatbrauerei Hösl

🌍 Germany · Hefeweizen · One of 148 Hefeweizens in hopIQ

Hösl's Weissbier Resi is a textbook Bavarian Hefeweizen — bottle-refermented for that soft, living character. Cloudy pale gold pours with a thick cream head; banana and clove rise immediately, followed by wheat's gentle sweetness and a creamy mouthfeel that feels almost dessert-like. Refreshing enough to drink anytime, complex enough to stay interesting.

About Hefeweizen

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 Resi

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.

Aroma

The nose opens with prominent banana esters—ripe and sweet without artificiality—layered with gentle clove spice from the yeast. Beneath sits a soft, grainy wheat sweetness and a hint of floral grassiness. The overall character is clean and inviting, with no harsh solvent notes.

Taste

The palate enters soft and creamy, with sweet banana and wheat malt building mid-mouth into an almost dessert-like fullness. Clove and a touch of yeast spice emerge to balance the sweetness, while the refreshing quality keeps the beer from feeling heavy. Low bitterness (14 IBU) allows the fruit and spice esters to shine throughout.
