These light-bodied ales are cloudy, highly carbonated and not very bitter. They generally have low alcoholic content and may be graced wth citrusy and spicy flavors.
Just from eyeballing the shelves, I get the impression that more Israeli craft breweries brew a wheat beer than any other style.
We count around 20 Israeli wheat beers out there. If we tasted them all in one sitting, you would have to carry the judges home in plastic bags. So we're picking a nice variety of about eight beers from a representative cross section of Israeli craft breweries.

Excellent timing, I'm very much looking forward to this. Unlike IPAs, in which area I have my clear domestically brewed favorites, when it comes to wheat beers I almost always gravitate toward the European imports on the shelves. So it'll be great to kick off the spring season with some guidance in the local wheat beer market.
