Bayreuth Hefe-Weissbier is a naturally brewed, traditional Bavarian yeast wheat beer from the Bayreuth Brewery of Bayreuther Bierbrauerei AG, which was awarded a medal in 2022 at Meininger's International Craft Beer Award. The top-fermented, unfiltered wheat beer with 5.3% ABV, an original gravity of 12.6 °P, and around 12 IBU is brewed according to the Purity Law from water, wheat and barley malt, yeast, and hops. In the glass, it appears honey-yellow to deep yellow with a rich haze and a dense, snow-white, long-lasting foam crown. The aroma combines banana and clove with light citrus notes and yeast, and on the palate, the beer impresses with a fruity-spicy character, soft malt body, a fine fruity sweetness, and sparkling yeast, with mild hop bitterness and a refreshing, pleasantly yeasty finish. Served at 7 to 10 °C in a wheat beer glass, it pairs well with Weisswurst, sausage salad, and mild cheese varieties as well as the classic Bavarian Weisswurst breakfast. Bottled in a 0.5-liter reusable bottle, it contains gluten-containing grains.
