Which of the following is a straw to gold-colored German ale with low bitterness, high carbonation, and distinctive yeast flavor?

  1. Doppelbock

  2. German pils

  3. Helles bock

  4. Weissbier

The correct answer is: Weissbier

This German ale is described as having a straw to gold color and a high carbonation, which eliminates options A and C as those typically have a darker color and less carbonation. Option B, German pils, is also incorrect as it is a hoppy, bitter beer, unlike the low bitterness mentioned in the question. Weissbier, also known as wheat beer, is the correct answer as it is often straw to gold in color, highly carbonated, and has a distinctive yeast flavor due to the use of wheat in the brewing process.
