Weizen Alkoholfrei

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with a distinctly hazy, cloudy character from suspended yeast—typical of the Westphalian brewing tradition. A modest white head forms and dissipates quickly, leaving minimal lacing on the glass. The fine carbonation is gentle and restrained, befitting an alcohol-free interpretation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with wheat grain and fresh bread crust, underpinned by a soft, yeasty warmth from the suspended sediment. Subtle fruity esters—hints of banana and clove—emerge beneath a clean, almost delicate malt backbone. Noble hop character remains restrained, contributing a whisper of herbal refinement without assertiveness.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and approachable, with a pronounced sweetness balanced by the wheat malt's gentle character and the yeast's slightly peppery note. Mid-palate develops a bready, almost biscuit-like fullness, while 22 IBU of noble hops provide a light, dry counterpoint that prevents cloying. The body remains light and refreshing despite the apparent sweetness, finishing clean without harshness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is crisp and relatively short, with the sweetness retreating to reveal a dry, malty afterglow. A faint herbal hop impression lingers briefly on the palate.
