Weissbier, or wheat beer, is a German staple that strikes a balance between refreshing and complex. Its cloudy appearance and creamy texture, along with fruity and spicy notes, make it an excellent choice for transitioning from summer lagers to autumnal brews.
Expect hints of banana, clove, and citrus in this style. It pairs wonderfully with hearty fall dishes and is a perfect option for those easing into richer beer flavors.

"A fruity and dry white beer with 50% wheat malt. The aromas and the sweet bitterness of the hops blend pleasantly with the body of the wheat." The American white, a wheat malt beer, is a reinterpretation of the traditional German weizen. If the latter has notes of banana, the American white replaces them with hop aromas. It is the freshness that wins: less yeast, more hops!
