À propos

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Weizen is a smoked wheat beer from Bamberg, brewed by Brauerei Heller-Trum using century-old methods. This beer marries the classic character of a Bavarian wheat beer—banana and spice notes from top fermentation—with Schlenkerla's signature smoke character. All malt is dried over wood fire at the brewery itself, a practice that defines the house style. The flavour strikes a careful balance: the fresh, fruity wheat beer foundation meets gentle smoke notes without overwhelming the palate. At 5.2% ABV, it is approachable and restrained in its smoke intensity. This is an ideal entry point into smoked beer for those curious about the style but wary of overpowering smoke.
