Perceived Malt Aroma & Flavor: Low to medium-low malt aroma and sweet malt flavor is present

Perceived Hop Aroma & Flavor: Low to medium

Perceived Bitterness: Low to medium

Fermentation Characteristics: Yeast character should be low to medium and should not dominate the character of malt and hops. Phenolic, clove-like aromas should not be perceived. Low fruity-estery aroma and flavor is typical. Diacetyl and phenolic, clove-like character should not be perceived.

Body: Low to medium

Additional 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 mouth feel.
