Weissbier, also known as wheat beer, is a traditional German beer made primarily from wheat malt. It is characterized by its light, refreshing taste and cloudy appearance, which comes from the yeast and suspended proteins. Weissbier typically has a fruity and spicy flavor profile, often featuring notes of banana and clove due to the specific yeast strains used during fermentation.
This style of beer is commonly served in tall, curved glasses that enhance its aroma and presentation. Weissbier is popular in Germany, especially in the southern regions, and is often enjoyed during warm weather or at outdoor gatherings.
