Difference between German Weizenbier and Weißbier
Question by Guest | 2018-02-24 at 17:11
I am interested to know what exactly the differences between the German beers Weizenbier and Weißbier are. Sometimes it even seems to me that both terms are used synonymously and even when trying to translate the terms, the translator gives me "wheat beer" for both.
Can a beer connoisseur enlighten me?

In fact, the same type of beer is meant with both terms, Weizenbier and Weißbier. But you probably will not find anyone who has both terms in his vocabulary at the same time, that varies regionally.
In Bavaria and in Austria we say Weißbier, in the rest of Germany people say Weizenbier. You would translate both terms to wheat beer in English.
However, there is a difference between the wheat bear varieties Hefeweizen (yeast wheat) and Kristallweizen (crystal wheat). Hefeweizen is cloudy and the better known variety. In Kristallweizen, the suspended matter and the yeast have been filtered out, so it is clearer.

Dark beers: All substances remain, they are complex, but also difficult to digest, but nutrient-rich, and expensive.
I think Weizen- or Weiß-beers are the same thing, just another name.
They are cloudy in contrast to Pils, if the wheat has not set off below, they taste something like acidic "yeast", which is probably the clearest sign to recognize them.
Pils is a light beer, in which all heavy substances were filtered out (wholesome), much silica for the bones, but otherwise no vitamins. Refreshing (?). It is immediately recognizable because it looks like filtered apple juice. The Pils beer is probably sold the most today.
This is a rough subdivision, you have to ask specialists for the gray areas. Beer manufacturers often go weird ways for the sale of a barely so popular today product as before (beer mix with coke, etc.).
