The
2 most popular
beer categories
Germany has many beers and beer categories. One popular way to classify the so-called normal brewed beers is into these two categories:
Dunkles
In most instances, dunkles beers are on the sweet, full side and have a low hop
content. They are dark hued and are translucent to opaque.
Helles
The helles beers have a higher hop content and, therefore, are slightly more
bitter in flavor. They are light hued and semi transparent.
However, German beers cover the full spectrum between these two extremes.
Other
beer types
The non-normal brewed beers include the dark, sweet, low-alcohol Malzbier (malt beers) and the wheat beers such as Berliner Weisse (traditionally spiked with raspberry syrup).
Other
classifications
German beers may also be classified by their origin, their alcoholic strength, whether they are top or bottom fermented, and their method and duration of storage (lager means "stored").
Serving
temperature
Remember that the proper serving temperature is warmer than American, colder than English.
