Bottle: Pellucid hazy yellow with a light fluffy white head. The nose has a hint of fruity wheat and husky esters, no hop. The flavor is lightly bitter, a semi-sweet wheat note. Bland and unfulfilling. An unseasoned steak, a bath without bubbles, tires without air, boardgames without light, fire without heat. You get the picture. Kristallweizens are so pointless, even pale lagers have more of a place in the world.

Dark straw color with a taller off-white, bubbly head. Smells just like a american pils/premium lager. LIght pale malt, hints of corn, with some herbal and floral hops jumping in and out in the background. A hint of pale malt sweetness in the front that is quickly swept away with lemon peels and light grass. Quite bitter in the finish, without enough malt to bring it back into check. The acidity continues into the linger. Not quite quenching. Linger leads to a touch of pale malt that is inviting to the next quaff. Not much of a kristallweizen, but not a bad pale lager/pils.

Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy/fizzy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain/bread), moderately hoppy (grapefruit, flowers, herbs). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Hopped to the point that it seems more like an APA to me (didn’t know what the style was while rating it)...surprisingly bitter in the finish (but still balanced for quaffing). Not bad, but not exciting.

Bottle from beeronthewall. PAle medium gold with 2-fingers of off-white head. Aroma is pale malt, apricotty fruit, some honey, hops, and citrus. Tastes crisp, with pale malty honey notes and a hopcitric body. I enjoyed this one.

Thank you Joebrew for sharing! Gold color with no head. Honey aroma. Light, caramel malt taste with a bit of earthy hop bitterness. Very, very slight wheat taste.
