Wheat beer is a type of beer that is brewed using a significant proportion of wheat in addition to barley. This gives it a light, refreshing taste and a cloudy appearance. Common styles of wheat beer include Hefeweizen, which is a German variety known for its fruity and spicy flavors, and Witbier, a Belgian style often brewed with spices like coriander and orange peel.
Wheat beers are typically lower in bitterness compared to other beer styles, making them easy to drink. They are often enjoyed in warm weather and are served with a slice of lemon or orange to enhance their citrusy notes.
