Time for another classic, German beer style! This week I’m brewing a Weissbier or more specifically, a Hefeweizen.

Hefeweizen shares some characteristics with American and Belgian wheat beers but don’t be confused. American Wheat beers like Bells Oberon have a clean yeast profile and noticeable hop character. Belgian Witbiers like Allagash White are hazy like a Hefeweizen but lean more towards citrus flavors.

The German Hefeweizen is known for its hazy appearance and banana and clove flavors, all of which are created by the yeast. Those flavors are balanced by bready malt character and a high level of carbonation which leads to a very light and approachable beer.

What an awesome beer to have on tap as we move into summer.

Now let’s make some beer!
