Notes
These beers can be fermented with either ale or lager yeast. The grist should include at least 30 percent malted wheat. Because this style is served with yeast, there should be a full yeasty mouthfeel.
Color
Medium amber to dark brown
Clarity
This style is packaged with yeast in the bottle so appearance may range from hazy to very cloudy. Chill haze is acceptable.
Malt aroma & flavor
Malt aromas and flavors can include low roasted malt character expressed as cocoa, chocolate or caramel as well as toffee or biscuit. Medium-low to medium-high malt sweetness is present. Roast malt astringency is acceptable when balanced with malt sweetness.
Hop aroma & flavor
Low to medium
Bitterness
Low to medium
Fermentation character
Low fruity-estery aroma and flavor is typical. Yeast character should be low to medium and should not dominate malt and hops. Diacetyl and clove-like phenolics should not be perceived.
Body
Low to medium
