Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Westheimer Weizen Alkoholfrei

Pale golden hue with a slight haze characteristic of the wheat beer style. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with moderate persistence, supported by active carbonation that creates fine, rising bubbles throughout the body.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft wheat sweetness and a touch of bready character, followed by the characteristic banana and fruit notes that dominate the mid-palate. Bitterness remains restrained at 14 IBU, allowing the yeast-driven fruitiness to take center stage while maintaining good balance and a clean, refreshing quality throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and clean, with the yeasty fruitiness fading gracefully into a light, slightly dry aftertaste. The lack of alcohol heat allows the malt's delicate sweetness to linger pleasantly without weight.

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.
