Between Nurnberg and Bayreuth in Germany, the Veldensteiner brewery is located in Neuhaus down to the Pegnitz river. The brewery is named Kaiser Bräu and was founded in 1929. It is a privately owned brewery by the Laus family.

A good looking orange going to brown unfiltered beer.

A big head with a fine top.

A dry and wheaty aroma.

Thin, flat CO2, weak wheat in the taste.

Overall rating 65 / 100

GS6A6427

 

The Maisel brewery was founded in 1887 by Hans und Eberhardt Maisel as a family business. The brewery is located in Bayreuth, Oberfranken, near Nürnberg in Germany. Today it is the fourth generation of the family, Jeff Maisel that runs the brewery.

I bought this beer at a Bayern web shop at the price of 2,5 Euro for a 500 ml bottle at 0%.

A beautiful deep orange glow to the colour of this unfiltered beer.

A gigantic head of fine bubbles with even finer bubbles on top.

A sweet wheat with a little fruit in the aroma.

Low CO2, sweet in the taste but can come off a little neutral or watery. There is no after taste what so ever. Still a pretty decent taste for a non-alcoholic beer.

Overall rating 74 / 100

Paulaner Hefe-Weissbier non-alcoholic

GS6A5010

This wheat beer comes from the Paulaner brewery located at Munich in the southern Bayern.

Paulaner have been making beer here since 1634, the brewery was established by the Minim friars of the Neudeck ob der Au cloister. The order and brewery are named after the founder of the order, Francis of Paola. The brewery have since the start changed hands four times and today is owned by a holding company where a venture company along with Heineken owns it.

Beautiful yellow and orange beer with a heavy unfiltered feel to its flow, there is also a lot of sediment.

Big head with a fine top that disperses into a thin layer.

Good fruit aroma and some wheat comes in over it, a little too subtle.

Medium CO2 that gives a good life to the wheat and fruit notes, a little to the sweet side in the overall taste and a tad too thin with the risk of being a little watery, overall a soft taste that lacks a little bite to overcome the lack of alcohol to play into the picture. However it is still a good non-alcoholic weissbier.

Overall rating is 76 / 100

GS6A5017

The brewery was founded in 1707 when Fürstbischof Marquard II build a brewery in his castle in Titting, Bayern, Germany.

The brewery closed down in 1759 and was reopened in 1786 by Fürstbischof Johann Anton III. The brewery became part of Bayern in 1808 and in 1821 it was sold and was now privately owned. The brewery have been in the hands of the Gutmann family since 1855.

I bought this beer at a Bayern web shop at the price of 2,5 Euro for a 500 ml bottle at 0%.

A very hazy and compact beer with colour going from yellow to almost brown and with a heavy sediment.

A large head with fine bubbles on top, about 5 mm stays for the duration of the drink.

Light fruit aroma but aroma is dominated by the wheat.

Low CO2, some fruit taste but caramel and sweetness dominates. Not bad for a non-alcoholic beer.

Overall rating 75 / 100

This wheat beer comes from the Erdinger brewery located at Erding in Bayern.

Erdinger have been making beer here since 1886, the brewery was established and later in 1930 it is bought by a malt factory, F.W. Otto. In 1935, the managing director Franz Brombach is offered to buy the brewery. Since then the brewery became very popular and it a widely exported weissbier. The brewery is still owned by the Brombach family today.

I bought this beer at a Bayern web shop at the price of 2,5 Euro for a 500 ml bottle at 0%.

The colour is a light yellow.

A big head that is rough with fine foam on the top.

A weak fruit aroma with a hint of bitterness.

Good CO2, watery and thin in the very weak fruit taste, feels like a wheat smoothie.

Overall rating 71 / 100

Bavaria 0,0%

GS6A0802

I bought this beer at a local supermarket at the price of 1,1 Euro for a 330ml bottle at 0,0%.

A slightly unfiltered look with a bright yellow colour to it.

The head structure is very fine bubbles that resembles a creamy foam.

A well rounded aroma of fruit and a gentle fruit taste with a fast finish. It is very noticeable that it is without alcohol and thereby gives the impression of a wheat smoothie or wheat lemonade. If you are driving or do not drink, this is a fair alternative for getting a Witbier.
