American Wheat Beer is a refreshing style of beer that typically features a significant proportion of wheat in its grain bill, often around 50%. This wheat contributes to a smooth mouthfeel and a hazy appearance. The beer is usually light in color and has a crisp, clean taste, making it a popular choice for warm weather. Brewers often add hops to enhance the flavor, resulting in a balance between the wheat's sweetness and the hops' bitterness. Common flavor notes include citrus and floral aromas, which can vary based on the specific hops used. This style is enjoyed for its drinkability and versatility.
