Wheat beer - Any beer which uses malted wheat is technically a wheat beer. There are two distinctive styles, both originating in Germany. One is the "Berliner Weisse" from Berlin, and the other is the Weizenbier from southern Germany. Both are top-fermented and noticeably hoppy and malty in taste. Bottled wheat beer is often given an extra dose of yeast to induce secondary fermentation. The bottle-conditioned wheat beer is called a hefe-weizen and is usually cloudy and contains sediment.
