American-Style Wheat Wine Ale Traits

Click the below buttons for a more detailed description of American-Style Wheat Wine Ale style traits

Beer Style Description

American style wheat wines range from gold to deep amber and are brewed with 50% or more wheat malt. They have full body and high residual malty sweetness. Perception of bitterness is moderate to medium -high. Fruity-ester characters are often high and counterbalanced by complexity of alcohols and high alcohol content. Hop aroma and flavor are at low to medium levels. Very low levels of diacetyl may be acceptable. Bready, wheat, honey-like and/or caramel aroma and flavor are often part of the character. Phenolic yeast character, sulfur, and/or sweet corn-like dimethylsulfide (DMS) should not be present. Oxidized, stale and aged characters are not typical of this style. Chill haze is allowable.

Aroma

Low to moderate grainy wheat character. Some malty sweetness is acceptable. Esters can be moderate to none, although should reflect American yeast strains. The clove and banana aromas common to German hefeweizens are inappropriate. Hop aroma may be low to moderate, and can have either a citrusy American or a spicy or floral noble hop character. Slight crisp sharpness is optional. No diacetyl.

Appearance

Usually pale yellow to gold. Clarity may range from brilliant to hazy with yeast approximating the German Hefeweizen style of beer. Big, long-lasting white head.

Flavor

Light to moderately strong grainy wheat flavor, which can linger into the finish. May have a moderate malty sweetness or finish quite dry. Low to moderate hop bitterness, which sometimes lasts into the finish. Low to moderate hop flavor

Mouthfeel

Medium-light to medium body. Medium-high to high carbonation. May have a light alcohol warmth in stronger examples.
