Wheat beer
Wheat beer , also white beer or just white , is a type of beer that was originally only to the demarcation to brown beer , red beer and black beer was referring. The term white is the ambiguous reference to the wheat used (as with wheat beer ) and the lighter color of the mostly top-fermented beers compared to the "brown" bottom-fermented barley beers. While in southern Germany wheat beer was mostly equated with wheat beer, in other places top-fermented barley beers are also referred to as wheat beer.
