The main difference between German wheat beer (Weizenbier) and German lager lies in the type of
yeast used and the brewing process:

- **Yeast:** Typically brewed with ale yeast (top-fermenting yeast).

- **Ingredients:** Contains a significant proportion of wheat malt along with barley malt.

- **Flavor Profile:** Often has fruity and spicy notes from the yeast, with a light and refreshing
character.

- **Appearance:** Cloudy or hazy appearance is common, especially in styles like Hefeweizen.

2. **German Lager:**

- **Yeast:** Brewed with lager yeast (bottom-fermenting yeast).

- **Ingredients:** Primarily uses barley malt, with a smaller proportion of wheat if it's a wheat lager.

- **Flavor Profile:** Generally has a cleaner and crisper taste compared to wheat beers. Lagering (cold
fermentation and conditioning) contributes to a smoother profile.

- **Appearance:** Typically clear and golden, though wheat lagers may have a slightly cloudy
appearance.
