German term or phrase: hefetrüb
Wer hätte gedacht, dass ein Kokos-Orangentörtchen im Streifenbiscuit hervorragend mit einem hefetrüben Weizenbier harmoniert? Oder, dass Pilze eine gute Kombination mit der zartherben Bittere eines Pils ergeben?

Explanation:
Nobody mentions the yeast here in England, actually you only get the cloudy Hefeweizen here. At the few places you get the clear Kristallweizen, the only distinction made is between clear and cloudy.

If you want to include the Hefe bit, maybe something like: Weizen beer rendered/made cloudy by the yeast (that\'s why I would leave it out, sounds terribly practical).

As Cilian pointed out: Weizen beer should of course be wheat beer, in this case cloudy wheat beer.

  -> I know exactly what you're talking about, especially now that it's so hot, there's nothing better than a cool Weizen.
agree  Cilian O'Tuama: or cloudy wheat beer - some people add a shot of banana juice (cringe...)

Yeast-beer


Explanation:
There are two kinds of Hefeweizen. One has the yeast, still in the bottle or keg, the other one is called Kristallweizen, and the yeast has been filtered out. The Hefeweizen tastes a bit "sweeter". I myself am a Hefeweizenbier drinker, and prefer this kind, instead of the Kristalweizen. And when you pour in a Hefeweizen into an appropriate glass, the yeast that is at the bottom of the bottle, comes out last, and thereby "clouds" the drink. But for translation purposes, yeast beer in this context would be your best choice. The writer -"…mit einem hefetrüben Weizenbier" is just being poetic again. He/she could well have written –“…mit einenm schönen Hefeweizen harmomiert" which says the same.
