That's what improves foam and foam stability and adds body. It tastes malty-sweet with light caramel notes, and because the colour is so pale it works in anything from the lightest to the darkest beer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeyermann recommends 5–10 % of the grist, and up to 40 % in special formulations such as alcohol-free beer.
