Rothaus Hefeweizen Zäpfle if you want a wheat beer that tastes like it came straight from the Black Forest,
Weissbier Resi if you want something slightly richer and more assertive.
Both sit at nearly identical ABV and bitterness, so the real difference lives in malt character and yeast expression. Rothaus leans delicate—almost mineral-driven—while Resi has more body and clove presence. Pick based on mood, not numbers.

Rothaus Hefeweizen Zäpfle
Rothaus pulls off something tricky: it feels lighter than 5.1% while tasting completely grown-up. There's a clean, crisp wheat backbone with just a whisper of banana and white pepper from the yeast—nothing shouts, everything whispers. The finish is dry and slightly peppery, with a mineral edge that makes you think of limestone and pine forests. It's the kind of beer that doesn't demand attention but rewards it.
Weissbier Resi
Resi has more heft without heaviness. You notice the malt sweetness upfront—a touch of honey and bread crust—before the clove spice kicks in harder than Rothaus. The body feels rounder, fuller on the tongue. It's still refreshing, but it's clearly built to last through a longer session. This is a hefeweizen that wants to be tasted, not just drunk.
