Kulmbacher Brewery has been making Kapuziner Weißbier in Bavaria for well over a century, and the alcohol-free version follows the same recipe as the regular hefe before the alcohol is drawn off post-fermentation. That matters: you get the real yeast-driven esters rather than a beer constructed from scratch to taste vaguely wheat-ish. In the glass it's golden and generously cloudy, with that fine-pored white head hefeweizens are known for. The aroma leads with banana and a softer peach note, backed by a hint of sourdough — all the classic signatures of a Bavarian weiss yeast at work. On the palate it's lean rather than full-bodied, with bright lemon and mandarin flavours and a gentle natural acidity that keeps things lively. The finish is short, clean, and without bitterness. At 17kcal per 100ml it's one of the lighter AF beers around. Not widely stocked in UK supermarkets but available through specialist AF retailers. If you want a benchmark Bavarian hefeweizen in alcohol-free form, this is a solid, unpretentious choice.
