About This Drink
Browar Cieszyn has been brewing in the border town of Cieszyn — on the Polish-Czech frontier — since 1846. Their Kapuziner Weissbier Alkoholfrei is brewed in the southern German wheat beer tradition, which means top fermentation with a hefeweizen yeast strain and the signature banana and clove esters that style is known for. As a wheat beer the label is fairly faithful to the template: cloudy, pale to golden in appearance, with a naturally hazy pour from the yeast in suspension. The nose should bring that characteristic fruity-spicy combination, softened by the absent alcohol but recognisably a Weissbier. On the palate there's soft wheat malt, mild cereal sweetness, and the gentle carbonation typical of the style. It's not the most common AF wheat beer on UK shelves — the German giants (Erdinger, Paulaner) dominate — but if you encounter it, it's a solid Polish take on the Bavarian Weissbier format.
