This traditional German-style ale is light and refreshing, an ideal summer beer. It's golden in color. The cloudiness comes from a combination of yeast and wheat malt that remains in suspension which imparts a "whiteness" to the beer. In fact, the other name for this beer style is weissbier or "white beer." The beer has a low bitterness, but should be tart and prickly. Sedimentation is natural and characteristic of a fresh hefeweizen.
