Schöfferhofer Hefeweizen

◎ Aussehen

This classic Weissbier presents a beautiful cloudy golden hue with excellent natural carbonation visible throughout the glass. A thick, creamy white head forms on the pour and persists admirably, characteristic of the style. The purposeful haziness from suspended yeast proteins is a hallmark of authentic German wheat beers.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by distinctive banana esters and warm clove phenolics, creating the classic Weissbier aromatic profile. Subtle notes of soft wheat bread and gentle spice underscore the dominant yeast character without any aggressive hop presence. The bouquet is inviting and quintessentially Bavarian.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with refreshing wheat malt sweetness balanced by the prominent banana and clove notes established on the nose. The mid-palate showcases a soft, creamy texture with gentle spice building subtly, while minimal hop bitterness (12 IBU) allows the yeast character to shine throughout. The overall impression is light and drinkable without sacrificing complexity.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering notes of banana bread and soft spice that fade gracefully. A light, crisp aftertaste leaves you reaching for another sip rather than any pronounced bitterness.

Etwas wärmer als ein Lagerbier — 8–12°C lässt die Bananen- und Nelkenaromen der Hefe voll zur Geltung kommen.

An der Basis schmal und oben ausladend — konzipiert für den reichlichen Schaum eines Weizenbiers, während der trüb-goldene Körper zur Geltung kommt.
