Alcohol-free wheat beer and weizen
Alcohol-free wheat beer and weizen are two beers that are gaining popularity among craft beer lovers. These beers share a number of characteristics, but there are also important differences between them. We'll explain those differences later. First, let's zoom in on the taste of the non-alcoholic version of witbieren and weizen.
The taste alcohol-free wheat beer and weizen
White beer is a type of beer known for its unique and refreshing taste. It has a light and fruity character, making it a very popular choice for people looking for an alcohol-free beer for summer. Of course, this non-alcoholic beer can also be consumed in winter.
The taste of white beer is determined by the ingredients used in its production. White beer is made from natural mineral water, wheat, barley malt and oats, and is spiced with coriander and orange peel. These ingredients give the beer its distinctive fruity flavors and spicy character, while maintaining a pleasant bitterness.
Witbier has a light and fresh taste, with a subtle sweetness and a slight acidity. It has a refreshing finish, making it an ideal choice for a hot summer day. The taste of wheat beer is often described as fruity, with notes of citrus, peach and apple. The coriander and orange peel give the beer a spicy flavor that goes well with the fruity aromas.
These beers are best drunk from a rinsed and chilled glass. Skimming is not necessary; the foam knows exactly what to do. A slice of lemon with alchohol-free witbier and Weizen is allowed, but not necessary to get the taste complete. After a few of these beers, you may well switch to an IPA.
In conjunction with food
White beer is a type of beer known for its refreshing taste and lighter mouthfeel, which makes it perfect to pair with lighter dishes. The fruity and spicy taste of white beer with its hoppy character can go well with different types of dishes, such as:
Salads: The fresh and fruity taste of white beer goes well with light and crisp summer salads, such as a salad with chicken, orange and walnuts. It can also go well with a Caesar salad or a salad with goat cheese.
Fish dishes: White beer is a good choice to pair with fish dishes, such as cod, salmon and tuna. The lighter flavor of the beer goes well with the delicate flavors of the fish, and the citrusy notes of the beer can enhance the flavor of the fish.
Asian dishes: These dishes are known for their spicy character. Therefore, the fresh touch of white beer is the ideal combination with Asian dishes.
Vegetarian dishes: White beer can also go well with vegetarian dishes. It goes well with dishes with vegetables, such as grilled vegetables, pizza with vegetables and hummus.
White beer versus Weizen
Witbier and weizen are both beers generally made from wheat and barley malt, but there are some important differences between the two.
First, the yeast used to brew these beers is different. Witbier is typically brewed with a top-fermenting yeast, while weizen is brewed with a bottom-fermenting yeast. These different yeasts give the beers their own distinctive flavor profile. According to German beer regulations, weizenbier must consist of at least 50 percent wheat and contain no other ingredients besides grain, yeast, hops and water.
Another difference between white beer and weizen is the herbs and spices used. Witbier is traditionally seasoned with coriander and orange peel, while weizen is often seasoned with cloves and sometimes banana and vanilla. These herbs and spices give the beers their distinctive flavor and aroma.
The appearance of the beers is also different. Witbier is usually brighter and lighter in color than weizen. Weizen is often cloudy because of the presence of wheat proteins and yeast in the beer, giving it an almost milky appearance.
