Wittmann Leichte Weisse
Finely cloudy and golden yellow, the Leichte Weisse smells fresh, fruity and grainy, as a wheat beer should. The taste adds notes of banana and yeast, with subtle malt aromas, a slight acidity and a fresh, very mild bitterness. Bottle conditioning with fine yeast gives this light Schankbier the typical wheat-beer taste, and it is brewed with love for detail.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Wittmann Leichte Weisse
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.
