Weissbier
This popular German wheat beer is brewed with unfiltered wheat and yeast, which explains its unique clove, banana and bubblegum flavors. It’s also highly carbonated, so you get a creamy, fluffy mouthfeel with each sip.
Did You Know?
There are three main types of German weiss: Kristallweizen, Dunkelweizen, and, the most common, Hefeweizen.
