Since I'm currently making a lime olive oil cake it only seemed obligatory to mix up some cactus juice. Equal volumes of gold Tequila and Triple Sec over ice...

while in Germany, I acquired a taste for wheat beer aka Weissen aka Weissbier . . . .
then sold only in glass bottles, only in 0.5 liter size....
my preference is "Krystal" variety - i.e. filtered, clear, no sediment.
many Weissen have a lot of the yeast still in the bottle, can leave a sticky sweet after taste.
the Benediktiner does not mention 'filtered' - but it has significantly less / no yeast sediment.
it's my current import fav . . .

I love Weissbier. Makes a nice change from the ubiquitous Pilsner we have over here. Unlike you, however, I like the sediment. That gets poured into the glass last minute, which makes for a cloudy, but delicious tipple.
There's also Fransizkaner and Oettinger - lovely stuff.
Not a fan of Blue Moon - far too industrialised.

A splash of Makers Mark.
Cheap plastic tumbler since glass is a real *pita* to clean up and it seems to explode on my floor.

alot - most methinks - of USA Weissen is "flavored" with orange peel / coriander / other garbage that makes it undrinkable!

Weissen should be tasting like cloves and banana, no spices added
Witbier often has coriander and citrus peel added

Wit = white = Weisse . . .
the description of Belgium (---)bier is often used - and seem that does imply the coriander/etc....
I bumped into the rep from Yuengling Brewery (not far from us) and suggested they do a filtered Weissen - he said the brewery is totally tapped out volume wise - in fact they have some products contract brewed in order to meet the demand.
apparently, beer is back!

They are 2 different styles
Wit is white (Dutch/Flemish)
Weiss is white in German, but Weizen is wheat...
these are the style differences
Wit bier
And weissen

That's very helpful, thanks!
I couldn't help cracking a smile at the Weißbier description, however. Sommeliers and beer experts just love to dress up their descriptions in , let's say, virtuoso language.
Imagine a young man and his girlfriend in the Hofbrauhaus in Munich, and as he gulps down his beer, he says to her:
"Mein Schatz, I've just had a dry finish and a fluffy mouthfeel..."
