They’re typically fermented with ale yeasts though they can be bottle conditioned with lager yeasts as well. The light color comes from the pilsner and vienna malts used for brewing. This style is generally light in color and very clear. The idea is that you want a smaller surface area focusing those delicate aromas and flavors into a tight space. Even a tall champagne glass will do the job. In the absence of a beer stange you can also reach for any type of flute glass or a narrow pokal (pilsner glass).
