Weissbier

Weissbier is a type of beer produced by Cervecera Península, a Spanish brewery located in the region of Catalonia. Weissbier, also known as wheat beer, is a traditional German-style beer that is characterized by its use of a significant proportion of malted wheat in addition to barley malt.

Cervecera Península’s Weissbier is brewed following the traditional German brewing techniques and adheres to the Reinheitsgebot, the German Beer Purity Law. This law ensures that the beer is made only with water, malted barley, malted wheat, hops, and yeast, without the use of any additives or artificial ingredients.

The Weissbier produced by Cervecera Península has a hazy appearance, often described as cloudy or turbid, due to the presence of suspended yeast and proteins. It typically has a pale golden to amber color and a dense, creamy white head.

In terms of flavor, Weissbier is known for its refreshing and fruity characteristics. It often exhibits notes of banana, clove, and sometimes even bubblegum. The beer has a medium to high carbonation level, which contributes to its effervescence and crisp mouthfeel.

Weissbier is a highly popular beer style, especially during the warmer months, as it is considered a refreshing and thirst-quenching option. It pairs well with a variety of foods, including light salads, seafood, and spicy dishes.

Cervecera Península’s Weissbier is widely available in Spain and can be found in select international markets. It is often enjoyed by beer enthusiasts who appreciate the traditional German brewing methods and the unique flavors and aromas of this style.
