A wheat beer contains two-thirds malted wheat and one-third barley malt. Called "hefeweizen" in German (literally, yeast-wheat), it is a very refreshing beer, citrusy in flavor, and often the base for beers containing fruit. Widmer Hefeweizen, produced by Widmer Brothers Brewing Company, practically defines the term "wheat beer" in Oregon. It is one of the better wheat beers in the Northwest and is credited with putting Hefeweizen on the map nationally. While many people serve wheat beers with lemon slices, others prefer the taste as is.
