Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Alkoholfrei
Weihenstephaner brewery's Weizen beers are now already being tapped nationwide in the familiar 0.5-liter Bavarian Weizen beer glasses.
Weihenstephaner has managed to retain the typical Weizen character of creamy wheat, light clove and a substantial banana aroma. The beer also has a slight citrus scent that makes it overall pleasant and balanced. Where often alcohol-free Weizen beers taste like wet bread, this beer has the finesse you can expect from a Weizen beer.
Traditionally brewed with at least 50% wheat and yeast in the bottle for the beautiful straw yellow cloudy color. Therefore, pour this beer completely with a hefty swirl to take the sediment out of the bottle.
