Which beer style is described as refreshing wheat that can display more hop character and less yeast character than its German counterpart?

• A. California Common
• B. Ordinary Bitter
• C. American Wheat
• D. Pale Ale

Answer: (C)

This description points to American Wheat beer. It’s a refreshing wheat beer that often emphasizes hop character, typically using American hops to deliver aroma and flavor, while keeping yeast-driven flavors lighter than a German wheat beer. German wheat (Weissbier/Weizen) is known for noticeable yeast-derived notes like banana and clove, which this description says are less pronounced. The other styles listed aren’t wheat-based: California Common is a lager-leaning amber ale, Ordinary Bitter is a British pale ale with modest hops, and Pale Ale isn’t defined by a wheat base. So the best fit is American Wheat.
