Color: Gold to very dark
Clarity: If served with yeast, appearance may be very cloudy.
Perceived Malt Aroma & Flavor: Medium malty sweetness should be present. If dark, a mild roast malt character should emerge in the flavor and, to a lesser degree, in the aroma.
Perceived Hop Aroma & Flavor: Not perceived
Perceived Bitterness: Low
Fermentation Characteristics: Balanced, clove-like phenolic and fruity-estery banana notes produce a well-rounded flavor and aroma. No diacetyl should be perceived. Carbonation should be high.
Body: Medium to full
Additional Notes:
These beers are made with at least 50 percent wheat malt. They are often roused during pouring, and when yeast is present, they will have a yeasty flavor and a fuller mouthfeel.
