These beers may contain malted barley, wheat, and rye as well as unmalted wheat, rye, oats, and corn. Though not common, flavorings such as coriander or orange and lemon peel are sometimes added, but are barely perceptible. The mouthfeel is light to moderate, and sometimes boosted with unfermented sugars/malt sugars. Low carbonation and aftertaste are typical.
Gold to black. Caramel color is sometimes added to adjust color.
Beer color may be too dark to perceive. When clarity is perceivable, chill haze is acceptable at low temperatures.
