Traditional Bavarian Hefeweizen

A 0.3% ABV unfiltered German wheat beer with the classic yeast-driven character: banana, clove, and vanilla coming through clearly on the nose and palate.

About This Drink

Nirvana's Hefeweizen is brewed to the German style, unfiltered and hazy with a yeast character that defines the drink. The banana, clove, and vanilla notes on the nose are typical of Hefeweizen yeast at work, and this delivers them clearly without being overdone. The pour is hazy golden with a fluffy white head, as it should be. Soft carbonation carries the aroma upward. The palate shows smooth wheat malt with the classic yeast-derived spice providing gentle counterpoint to the natural sweetness. The finish is clean and gently sweet, the spice fading slowly. At 0.3% ABV it is one of the lower-strength options in the range. The flavours open up slightly as it warms from very cold, so it's worth giving it a moment in the glass.
