Wheat beers? Bitter aftertaste? ¿que?

I wouldn't call myself an aficionado by any manner of means, but I have noticed a few wheat beers like Leffe, Erdinger, and another one the name of which I cannot recall right now, tend to leave a bitter aftertaste on my palate that doesn't 'fit' with the rest of the taste of the beer. Not unpleasantly bitter, not sooking a lemon bitter, but just incongruous with the rest of the taste.PKMKII wrote:Wheat beers?

I mean like the bitter beery taste you get from a badly pulled pint of Guinness, or if you ever get the opportunity to drink Younger's Scotch Bitter - don't bother, it's disgusting - like that. With some styles of beer you expect that, and it 'fits' the rest of the drink, but it doesn't sit well with the rest of the white beer taste IMHO - like a strawberry milkshake with an aftertaste of coffee: it's not unpleasant; but it's not right.PKMKII wrote:So when you mean "bitter," you mean a citric tartness like a lemon?
