Unertl Weissbier

Weizenbier is made out of wheat. This gives it a much stronger flavour — those into such things often refer to it as ‘cloves, banana and bubble-gum’(!) — as well as more fizz (although I’m not really sure of the reason for the latter). Having said this, it is generally not 100% wheat, but (in Bavaria) generally somewhere around 66% wheat and 33% barley (sometimes 50/50). Other wheat beers include the ‘sour’ Berliner Weisse (33% wheat / 66% barley, often drunk in a semi-spherical glass mixed with brightly coloured syrups such as raspberry or woodruff) and the Belgian Witbier (“white beer”; the Flemish for “wheat beer” is Tarwebier; the French term “Bière Blanche” is also used), while many of the Belgian Lambic beers contain fruit in addition to wheat.
