Altstadt Weissbier 1L - German Wheat Beer

Weissbier, a traditional German wheat beer is traditionally known for its highly carbonated, refreshing character. Altstadt Weissbier has a very rocky, brightly white head deriving from a high proportion of wheat malt.

Lemon or not?

I believe that the drinker himself should decide whether to enjoy his Weissbier with a slice of lemon or not. The lemon surely accentuates the crisp acidity of the wheat beer as well as visually highlighting the refreshing character of the drink.

Our secret

If you are familiar with the famous Weissbier brewery names like Erdinger, Paulaner, Franziskaner and Schneider to name a few, you will realize that you are in the company of seriously traditional Weissbier! You might think that it is impossible for a South African to brew this Bavarian style wheat beer - that is until you taste a tall frothy Altstadt Weissbier. Part of the secret is using the original Bavarian wheat beer yeast strain that not only defies gravity, but also imparts a faint clove and banana flavour to the beer.

What does "Hefe" mean?

"Hefe" in the logo means "with yeast" and that the yeast stays in suspension, giving the beer a hazy appearance. Weissbier is a beer worthy of the title Connoisseur Beer for those who are passionate about beer. The first Altstadt of the day should be enjoyed with a breakfast of Weisswurst on a roll.
