Maisel's Weisse Leicht is a light wheat beer from the Gebr. Maisel brewery in Bayreuth, brewed according to the same recipe as Maisel's Weisse Original, but with 3.1% ABV, containing about 38% less alcohol than the original. This top-fermented specialty is made from Fichtelgebirge water, wheat and barley malt, Hallertau aroma and bitter hops, and yeast, with an original gravity of 9.3 °P, about 12 IBU, and a nutritional value of around 30 kcal per 100 ml. In the glass, it appears cloudy with yeast in a reddish glowing amber color with plenty of fine, creamy foam. The aroma is fruity and fresh, with banana and a hint of clove, and on the palate, the beer impresses with a mild, spicy, and lively taste, fine carbonation, and a balanced ratio of malt sweetness and restrained hop bitterness. Served at 7 to 10 °C in a wheat beer glass, it pairs well with white sausages, bruschetta, fish, seafood, salads, and mild cheeses. Bottled in a 0.5-liter reusable bottle, it contains gluten-containing grains.
