17A. Bavarian Weizen Adapted from BJCP Beer Styles Ver. Vanilla and clove-like phenols and fruity esters of banana are common.
Hop aroma ranges from low to none.
Some aroma of wheat may be present. Pale straw to dark reddish-gold in color. A very thick, long-lasting head is characteristic. High protein content of wheat may impair clarity in an unfiltered beer, and clarity can be deliberately cloudy in a Hefe-Weizen from suspended yeast sediment. The filtered Krystal version is quite clear.
