What Is Wheat Beer?

Wheat beer is brewed using a significant proportion of wheat alongside barley malt, creating a beer that's naturally smooth, refreshing and full of character.

Unlike many lagers, wheat beers are often naturally cloudy due to suspended yeast, giving them a soft appearance and distinctive flavour profile.

Typical tasting notes include:

• Banana
• Clove
• Orange peel
• Lemon
• Coriander
• Vanilla
• Fresh bread
• Gentle spice
• Light sweetness

Most wheat beers are lightly carbonated with a creamy mouthfeel, making them incredibly refreshing and highly drinkable.

German Weissbier vs Belgian Witbier

Although both styles use wheat, German and Belgian wheat beers offer very different drinking experiences.

German Weissbier

German Weissbier, also known as Hefeweizen, is famous for its banana and clove aromas created by traditional Bavarian yeast strains. It's smooth, naturally cloudy and wonderfully refreshing.

Popular German wheat beer styles include:

• Hefeweizen
• Kristallweizen
• Dunkelweizen
• Weizenbock

Belgian Witbier

Belgian Witbier is lighter in body and brewed with spices such as coriander and orange peel, delivering bright citrus flavours with refreshing herbal notes.
