Wolfshöher Hefe Hell

Tap to rate

Wolfshöher Hefe Hell is a top-fermented, unfiltered wheat beer with a high share of wheat malt, brewed from 12.3 °P original gravity to 5.3 % ABV. The brewery calls it lively and mild, with a lightly fruity aroma and a rounded hop note. It pours straw yellow and cloudy under a creamy head. Banana leads the nose, backed by a touch of clove from the top-fermenting yeast; the palate is fresh and slightly sweet with a gentle tartness, before the soft hop note closes it.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent banana, a hallmark of the top-fermenting yeast's phenolic contribution. A delicate clove note emerges beneath, adding subtle spice and complexity without dominating. A light fruity undertone rounds out the bouquet, with no aggressive hop presence—the overall character is mild and approachable.

◐ Taste

The palate enters fresh and slightly sweet, with the wheat malt providing a soft, rounded mouthfeel. A gentle tartness develops mid-palate, balancing the initial sweetness and adding definition. The finish is anchored by a soft, understated hop note that closes cleanly without lingering bitterness, leaving the beer feeling complete rather than sharp.

Serve at 5–8°C

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Weizen glass

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.
