Wheat beer is a beer that is brewed with a significant proportion of malted wheat. It is common for wheat beers to also contain malted barley. The addition of wheat lends wheat beers a light flavour and pale colour. Wheat beers are usually top-fermented (in Germany they have to be by law). Wheat beer is distinguished by its creamy texture and sweet flavor, which is said to have overtones of banana and clove.

Belgian witbieren ("white beers") are based on the best-known example, Hoegaarden Wit. Such beers get their name from suspended yeast, which give it a whitish colour. Belgian white beers often have spices such as coriander or bitter orange peel added, giving them a slightly fruity flavour. They are also often made with raw unmalted wheat, as opposed to the malted wheat used in other varieties.

German wheat beers are a well-known variant throughout the southern part of the country, the name changing from Weizen in the western (Baden-Württemberg) regions to Weißbier or Weiße in Bavaria.

Hefeweizen

Hefeweizen is a German style of wheat beer in which the yeast is not filtered out.
