Magma Bergamot Wit if you want delicate, citrus-forward refreshment,
Stiegl Gipfelstürmer if you want assertive hop bite.
The Magma leans into Italian bergamot subtlety—almost perfume-like—while Stiegl flexes serious noble hop character for a wheat beer. Both sit around 5% ABV, but they're playing entirely different games: one whispers, one shouts.

Magma Bergamot Wit
This one hits with bright bergamot oil right on the front of your palate—you're tasting the actual citrus peel, not just citrus flavor. The wheat base is pillowy soft, almost creamy, which lets that bergamot float without getting lost. At 12 IBU, there's almost no hop bitterness anchoring it; instead it feels like drinking a very drinkable perfumed cloud. Finishes clean and slightly herbal.
Stiegl Gipfelstürmer
Stiegl throws down 45 IBU and you feel every single one. Noble hops (likely Hallertau or Tettnang) come through as peppery, slightly piney, with an herbal snap that's unusual for a wheat beer. The wheat still shows up—there's that typical banana/clove ester you'd expect—but it's wrestling with the hops for attention. Dry finish, gripping, feels more like a dry-hopped pale ale wearing a wheat beer costume.
