Brauerei Gutmann in Titting, Bavaria, has been making Hefeweizen since 1707. Their Hefe Dunkle is the dark wheat beer variant in an alcohol-free format, and it's a more interesting proposition than most dark beers in the category. The addition of 17% spelt malt (Dinkelmalz) alongside the wheat, barley and roasted barley gives it a distinctive grain character that you don't find in standard dark wheat beers. It pours a cloudy amber colour with a generous airy foam head. The nose carries oven-fresh bread, ripe banana and a caramel note — classic Bavarian Hefeweizen yeast character against a darker malt backdrop. On the palate, the caramel and roast notes give body, balanced by the foundational sweetness of the wheat malt and a fine yeast note that runs through to the finish. The spelt adds a gentle nuttiness and makes the overall grain character more complex than you'd expect at this strength. At 25 calories per 100ml it's in the low-calorie bracket, and it's an isotonic drink by nature. Serve at 5°C and drink fresh.
