Top-fermented dark wheat beer
Alcohol content: 5,8 %
Original wort: 13,3 °
This Aying beer speciality is brewed from the finest dark wheat and barley malt.
This is the reason for its soft amber colour, extraordinary foam stability and unmistakable
top-fermented, yeasty and malty flavour. Ayinger Urweisse has a fruity, tart body with hints of orange and banana flavours. It is strong on the palate, with a tingling tartness and a particularly full flavour.
The combination of wheat freshness and dark malt is decisive for its unique fullness of flavour. Our Ur-Weisse is also one of the most award-winning beers in the world: It was awarded gold at the European Beer Star 2014 for the third time in four years, beating more than 50 competitors in the highly competitive "amber-coloured Hefeweizen" category.
Did you know that wheat used to be used primarily for food? Beer made from wheat was therefore banned for a long time. Later, the brewing of wheat beer was restricted by the fact that only the Bavarian duke or elector was allowed to do so. The Wittelsbach monopoly on wheat beer
was only abolished in 1798 by Elector Karl-Theodor.
