Pours gold with a large, pillowy, off-white head that lasts quite a while. The nose is of yeast, light wheat, banana and bubble gum. The mouthfeel is light, thin and very easy to drink. Light, sweet and crisp malt/wheat flavor with light bubble gum and banana backing. The wheat flavor becomes more pronounced at the finish. A tasty beer, but what’s up with the bright green bottle?

500l bottle. This is the best kistallweizen I’ve had, and a great weizen to boot. Lots of spicy wheat with a big hit of lemon citrus. Very smooth, big head and easy to drink. Unlike other krisatll’s I’ve had this has bags of body and flavour. For a random selection in a bar it blew me away!

Very fruity nose of banana, pears, apples, some sawdust. Pours a sparkling hazy golden honey amber. The titanic frothy head is super tight & stiff; mostly lasting and leaves behind no lace. The brew is very malty but somehow has great balance. The medium body is uber creamy & soft. An excellent brew, WOW!

Bottle. Clear golden, large but quickly fading fluffy white head. Clean wheat bread malt aroma, with some spicy notes. Quite light in body, and a bit spritzy. Some malt sweetness, but also a good bitterness in the finish. A good summer quencher.

Bottle. Banana, citrus aroma and flavor. Pretty average wheat beer. Nothing too original.

Bottle. Large fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Some lacing. Body was clear with a light sparkling look. Color was thin yellow. Aroma was yeast, coriander, clove, citrus and banana. Light bodied with an average carbonation and a slightly thin texture. Flavor was light sweet. Finish was light sweet as well.
