Hefe

Hefe is a traditional German-style wheat beer, typically unfiltered, which means it retains yeast and protein particles, giving it a cloudy appearance. It usually has a flavorful profile with hints of banana, clove, and citrus, achieved through specific yeast strains and brewing methods. Hefe beers are often light to medium in body, with a refreshing and slightly tangy taste. The word "Hefe" translates to "yeast" in German, highlighting the importance of unfiltered yeast in its character. It pairs well with a variety of foods and is enjoyed for its vibrant, lively flavor profile.
