Bottle, 500ml. A pale yellow colour with a large foaming head. A musty aroma with some sweet orange. Taste is orange and wheat with an unusual citrus and caramel finish. Somewhat watery and weak-tasting. High carbonation. This is easy enough to drink, but it’s nothing to get excited about.

Jan, 2007 Keg in Southwark Tavern. A gently spicy wheat. Thin, watered down orange juice, a few days old, with a touch of rubber and germoline. Drinkable. [2.5]
Sept, 2009 Keg at Gypsy Moth, Greenwich. Served very cold, but banana flavours do come through. Finishes on a moderate dry note with a hint of savlon. Reasonably attractive and drinkable. [2.9]

50 cL bottle. Pours clear golden, creamy white head. Carbonated, aroma of wheat malt, yeast and fruit. Taste has the same elements with more hops and fruity.

Bottle 50cl. Poured clear gold with a blooming white head. High carbonation. Cool sweet wheaty aromas. Classic bubblegum flavour, a little fruity - banana - but no so much as other weizen I’ve had. Slightly acidic in the aftertaste. Slick palate, extremely easy to drink and goes down well. Decent kristalweiss.

Very nice golden color with a creamy white head (the fame of its lasting head did not apply to mine). Aroma of banana and some spice and pepper. Quite creamy and spicy on the tongue. The Tastes banana and wheat mainly. Very good aftertaste.

Pours pale yellow with a huge foamy white head. Mad bubbles swirling for a long time. Aroma is spice and ripe banana. The wheat comes out in the taste, with a borderline creamy mouthfeel. Kind of like a lite version of their weisse, with a bit more body. Surpsingly drinkable and smooth.

great aroma, pours really nice. It’s refreshing and full of flavor at the same time. if you liked sour jolly ranchers, this is your beer.

Wildly spritzy pour spiralling with a helix of bubbles. Snowy ice cream-cone head. Candyish banana snout. The same rounded fruitiness and wheaty softness as the unfiltered version. Maybe just a touch of bitterness in the finish. Plenty of character and moreish fruitiness for a Kristall.
