Weizen is a type of beer that originates from Germany, primarily made from wheat rather than barley. It is known for its light, refreshing taste and often has a cloudy appearance due to the yeast and proteins suspended in the liquid. Weizen beers are typically served in tall, curved glasses and can be enjoyed in various styles, including Hefeweizen and Dunkelweizen. The brewing process for Weizen involves a high proportion of wheat malt, which contributes to its unique flavor profile. Common tasting notes include hints of banana and clove, resulting from specific yeast strains used during fermentation. Weizen is popular in many countries and is often enjoyed during warm weather or at social gatherings.
