Darker, stronger version of Bavarian wheat beer. May have slight toasted or chocolate flavor, but this should not be dominant. The clove-banana flavor will be slightly more subdued in this version.

Medium body. Low hop flavor/aroma to enhance yeast flavor. Some fruity, ester, phenolics ok. Clove and banana yeast mixed with dark malt flavor. Light straw color, some haze allowed. Highly carbonated.
Ingredients
More than 50% wheat malt. Remainder is Munich or Vienna barley malts. German noble hops at low hop rate. Must have distinctive Weizen Wheat yeast for correct flavor. Soft water.
