German Wheat Beers are probably the only style of beer I can say I don't like. I don't like that fruit-loop taste that most of them have. But I do enjoy American Wheats, or at least the few I have had at micro brew pubs.
Do American wheats taste different because they don't use German Weizen Yeast? I want to brew a Wheat beer like the American styles I have had, but I want to make sure it is the German yeast that causes the different taste. I wouldn't want to brew and then realize the American Wheat I liked was a fluke at some micro, and in fact American wheats have the same fruit-loopyness of Germans.
