Hefeweizen
Hefeweizen is a traditional German wheat beer originating in Bavaria, characterized by its cloudy appearance due to suspended yeast ('hefe' means yeast in German). It features distinctive banana and clove flavors from the special Weizen yeast strains, with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel from the high percentage (typically 50-70%) of malted wheat alongside barley malt.
