wheat beer
Hazy golden ale
Wheat beer is beer brewed with a significant proportion of wheat alongside barley.
The wheat gives it a lighter body, pale color, and slightly tart or citrusy flavor compared to all-barley beers.
German varieties like hefeweizen and Belgian witbier are the most common styles: I'll have a wheat beer with a slice of orange.
