Royal Bavaria’s Weizen or “Wheat” beer has a very characteristic flavor thatis produced by the interplay between the Weissbier ale yeasts and the trace elements from the large portion of wheat in the brew’s grain bill. This flavor is variably described as clove-like, banana-like, phenolic, spicy, sour or even bubblegum-like. Because of the complexity of the Weissbier flavor, these beers are only mildly hopped. This puts them in contrast to many blond lagers - such as the Pils/Pilsner, which are fairly strongly hopped for an assertive up front bitterness.
