Erdinger Weissbier Kristallklar

Brewed by Erdinger Weissbräu
Style: German Kristallweizen
Erding, Germany

Vibrant pale gold pour, with a large but quickly fading head. Light aroma, hints of pears and banana, some spicy noble hops, but really quite faint. Flavours are similarly faint, some bready wheat and the slightest banana, with some grainy malt creeping in as well. Carbonation is way over the top. Very prickly.

Bottle. Pours clear light golden with a good sized rocky white head. Weak yeast and banana aroma. Taste is slightly on the sour side, watery mouthfeel, not any good imho.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours clear golden with a white light head. Charactere of apples, wheat and metall.

The body pours out a golden body, clear with healthy 2" fluffy bright white head. Aroma is bubblegum and banana along with some light oxidation. Flavor is pretty simple and straight forward. Light fruit, some malts with a hint of banana and bubblegum. Very light and easy to drink. Barely noticed my glass was empty.

Bottle. A filtered weizen with a huge head. Very explosive, actually. More of a golden color than the light yellow I expected. A slight, refreshing aroma, but not much there. Clear, slightly light taste. No spice, and also without the heavy yeast flavor of a hefe. Fruity tones, though, maybe melon? and I would guess that it has a good amount of barley malt in it as well. Relatively lightly hopped, as usual. Decent malty aftertaste. Very easy to drink, and refreshing on this hot summer day, but not all that original.

Bottle. golden with huge white head. Not much aroma a little hopps and banana. Taste a bit of the same. Gets better in the glass, still I prefer the real stuff. Like a weiss beer for pilsnerdrinkers who doesn´t like weissbiers. A boring style.

Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow/ripe banana color with clear edges and a 2.5 finger fizzy bubbly head that slowly dissolves. This bear isn’t very "clear" at all actually. It’s a little less hazy than a regular German wheat beer but is still kind of dark and cloudy. Earthy aroma with subtle hops, citrus peel, clove and ripe banana aroma. All of these scents are very faint and much less prominent than in other German wheat beers. Kind of smells like a bland version of the style with some dirt thrown in. Pretty carbonated for the style that adds a pleasant effervescence. Watered down light body with slight earthy hops and citrus peel. Decent amount of clove spice and a good amount of ripe banana. This beer is a bland version of a style that I usually love. Kind of disappointing really but good for pounding down in the warmer months.
