American Wheat IIAuthor: BYO StaffIssue: Jan/Feb 2005
"American Wheat beers have grown from the basis of the German Hefeweizen. While they can be crystal clear, most retain the cloudy
appearance of their forefathers. Typically the American hefeweizen is a light to medium body beer that is made of over 50% wheat. The
wheat flavor and fluffyness should dominate the malt side of the brew."
