pivnizub (3900), Porúří, Germany Oct 4, 2006 Bottle (thanx to MoritzF): Golden coloured, medium-sized creamy white head, lively carbonation; faint fruity (bananas, cloves)- wheaty nose; faint sweetish-sourish flavour, light bodied; short grainy, fruity finish. Really not unpleasant, but kind of tasteless.......... MoritzF (3883), Ruhrpott, Germany Oct 1, 2006 (bottle) Slightly hazy, pale golden colour with a big and persistent white foamy head. Sweet and slightly sourish malty nose with a strong yeasty note but a faint banana-like fruitiness. Sweet and slightly sour flavour; light to medium bodied with a smooth carbonation. Strong yeasty and malty taste with restrained fruit- and wheat-character; slim and rather short finish with traces of bitter hops and light clovy notes. rkuhnel (1139), Eureka, California, USA Jul 6, 2006 In Aschaffenburg, Germany from a bottle. After drinking the dunkel the bistro owner warned me this might taste a little light. It did pour light yellow with a mediim white head. But it measured up very well. Nice aroma of light malts and fruit. Very clean palalte, and smooth going down. Very refreshing. I admit I may have been better off if I had not been tasting the other Bavaria offerings first, but I really liked this. It will be interesting to see what others think as this only has two other ratings. But I liked it. A lot. MrRomero (1896), Wiesbaden-Biebrich, Germany Apr 4, 2006 500ml bottle" poured light yellow with a medium sized creamy white head. Extremely light yeast aroma with a tad bit of banana esters. Not much by way of flavor either. I may have had a hard time identifying this as a weizen if I didn’t know it. Maybe my palate was altered by the Licher Hefeweizen I had before. This had a very slight cardboard, stale refrigerator taste to it. Drinkable but not by much. shrubber85 (2591), Honolulu, Hawaii, USA Apr 24, 2004 Updated: Dec 30, 2005The best Kristall Weizen I have ever tasted. Is everything I would expect from this type of beer. Aroma is wheat malt and bananas. Clear golden yellow color. Clean, clear and crisp flavor with banana, peach and wheat flavor. Comparable in taste to even the best Hefes - this beer should be considered the standard that other Kristall Weizens are measured.
