Stiegl Sport-Weisse Alkoholfrei

◎ Aussehen

A pale golden hue typical of the Hefeweizen style, with a distinctly hazy appearance arising from suspended yeast and wheat proteins. The head is fine and persistent, clinging to the glass in delicate lacing. High carbonation manifests in a steady stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft wheat and grainy malts, complemented by delicate phenolic notes of clove and subtle banana esters from the top fermentation. A whisper of noble hop character adds aromatic balance without dominance, while the overall profile remains clean and refreshing.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with a crisp, malty sweetness from the wheat and barley malts, followed by a gentle spice and subtle yeasty complexity in the mid-palate. The fine acidity cuts through cleanly, lending refreshment and preventing any cloying character, while the restrained bitterness (14 IBU) remains subtle and well-integrated.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and relatively short, fading into a dry, crisp aftertaste with lingering wheat notes. The absence of alcohol leaves no warming sensation, making this an ideal thirst quencher.
