Whits, Wheats & Hefeweizen

Wheat beers enjoy a special place in the world of ales. They are mostly cloudy with a high level of carbonation, and banana and clove aromas. Wit beers are a subset of wheat ales that have added spices, most commonly coriander and orange peel, but may have other additions. Light and refreshing, they have little hop aroma or bitterness, making them a great thirst quencher. Fahr’s Hefeweizen (Hefe) is one of their originals from a decade ago, and was our favourite for its drinkability and faithfulness to the German style. - David Nuttall
