Tucher(Nurnberg, Germany) - Helles Hefe-Weizen Review

Type: Helles Hefe Weizen

ABV: 5.35%

Sight - Cloudy golden yellow body with a fluffy thick white head that hangs well and diminishes to a full film of white on the surface.


Aroma: Wheat and lemon are dominant on first inhale. A light spice and a stronger citrus pop are there on deeper sniff.

Taste: The initial sip brings alot of spicey notes from the wheat, along with deeper lemony and lime esters from the combo of the hops and the wheat. There is a little light malt bringing the front to the end where the flavors basically come to an abrupt end.

Overall: Not bad at all, but it is nothing really different than the many other Hefe-Weizens from Germany I have had...Spicey, light malt, and citrus, generally in that order. This one though is much easier to down in a hurry if need, than some with a harder-core strength of spice. The mouthfeel is medium and there isn't much of an aftertaste to speak of.

Score: 7/10
