🌍 Germany · Hefeweizen · One of 244 Hefeweizens in hopIQ

A naturally cloudy Hefeweizen from Baden that the brewery measures against its Bavarian counterparts. It is pale yellow with a dense, fine-pored head. The nose is fruity, joined by a delicate wheat beer aroma; on the tongue it is lively, with a full-bodied, slightly bready taste and a soft, round finish. Brewed from wheat and barley malt with Hallertauer Tradition hops at an original gravity of 12 °P.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe orchard fruit and subtle stone fruit notes, characteristic of the Hefeweizen yeast strain. Delicate wheat beer grain aromas interweave with these fruity esters, creating a balanced, approachable bouquet without aggressive hop presence.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Welde Hefeweizen

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.
