Weißbier (also called Weizenbier ) is a top-fermented beer that is brewed not only with barley malt but also with wheat malt and sometimes also with oats. These beers use around 50% wheat malt. This provides the distinctive taste, along with the yeast used. Flavors such as cloves, nutmeg, vanilla and banana are derived purely from the yeasts and not from additives.
Additions of flavors are also prohibited in brewing under the German Reinheitsgebot.
The beer is usually unfiltered and therefore cloudy and the alcohol percentage is usually between 5 and 6 percent.
