Wheat beers range from light, refreshing summer quenchers like the witbier or weissbier ,to caramel dunkelweizens and weizenbocks. Despite color differences, Belgian and German wheat beers have several commonalities: high carbonation from a second fermentation after bottling, a little sweetness, low hop flavor and aroma, and a dry finish. American wheat beers, however, don’t generally engage in second fermentation, nor are they afraid of aggressive hopping.
