Weizen is the German word for wheat and whenever you see a beer that has weizen in the name you know that wheat is the primary grain used to make the beer.  German versions can have a banana and/or a clove aroma which are produced by the yeast during fermentation. American versions generally use yeast that produces little, if any fruity esters. American versions may have a subtle floral aroma which is derived from the hops used during brewing.

Weizen glasses have similar geometries to pilsner glasses; they are tall slender glasses with a heavy foot for stability.  Unlike the pilsner, a weizen glass bulges out towards the top and tapers in at the opening. For my money, no other glass is a worthy vessel for weizens or other wheat beers.  The glass’s shape showcases the cloudy golden beauty of any wheat beer while their size accommodates the substantial heads wheat beers produce.

Simply put, this glass creates a piece of delicious performance art.
