Wheat beer is a type of beer that uses a higher proportion of wheat than most barley-based beers. Its flavor tends to be light, smooth, and refreshing, with distinctive aromas of citrus, banana, or clove, depending on the brewing style. Its texture is also smoother and often appears slightly cloudy.
Known as an easy-drinking beer, wheat beer is popular in a variety of settings, especially during warm weather. This style includes several well-known styles such as Hefeweizen, Witbier, and American Wheat, each offering a unique yet refreshing flavor profile.
