Weizenbier, also known as wheat beer, is a traditional German beer that is brewed with at least 50% wheat in addition to malted barley. This light and refreshing beer has gained popularity outside of Germany and is known for its unique taste profile and smooth texture. Other synonyms for Weizenbier include Weissbier, which means "white beer" in German, and Hefeweizen, which refers to the beer's cloudy appearance caused by the suspended yeast particles. Another popular variation of Weizenbier is Kristallweizen, which is a filtered version of the beer that appears clear in color. No matter the synonym, this type of beer remains a favorite among beer enthusiasts.
