Traditionally brewed with wheat alongside malted barley creating a natural haziness, wheat beers are refreshing with a fruity sweetness and a crisp, dry finish. Their light flavour profile and high effervescence makes them a superb match for summer salads, vegan sushi or even apple and banana desserts.
Generally they come in two styles; the German Weissbier brewed with at least 50% wheat, and the Belgian Witbier brewed with less wheat and occasionally oats. In the Weissbier you will discover banana, bubblegum and clove flavours from the specific strain of yeast used. Conversely, in the Witbier adjuncts including coriander and orange peel offer a distinctive zesty and spicy taste.
