hefeweizen

Bavarian wheat ale

Hefeweizen is a German wheat beer, cloudy and unfiltered, with a distinctive yeasty flavor and notes of banana and clove.

The name means "yeast wheat" in German.

Hefeweizens are typically light-bodied and refreshing, often served in tall, curved glasses: I'll have a hefeweizen with the bratwurst.
