Helles Oberdorfer Weiss Helles and Dunkels This style of beer is classified as a hefe-weizen (German for yeast wheat). This brewing style combines wheat with the usual barley malt. Additional yeast is added to the beer in the final process prior to bottling. This yeast gives the beer a cloudy appearance that is opaque or white in color Thus the name weiss (German for white) is added to the name. In Germany weiss and weizen are used interchangably to describe wheat beers. It has a full flavor but lacks the bitter after taste found in well hopped beers. The dunkels (German for dark) has roasted barley added to the malt to give it a dark color and a more robust taste.   Back to the Sailer Product Line.   Dunkel
