Feb 8, 2005 Bottle. My first Kristalweizen. Mild DMS in the aroma turning more like a weizen with spritzy notes of bananas and yeastly breads in the nose. Fruity. Looks like budweiser with a big white fluffy head. Start is quite spritzy and carbonated without much taste. Kind of like tonic water. Grainy/corniness in the middle finishing bready and lightly lactic and sour with hints of bananas. This sort of tastes like 50% macro BMC and 50% average Weiss beer.

Jan 12, 2005 Bottle poured a cloudy golden yellow with a good heavy white head and a spice, banana aroma.
Light malt and fruit flavor but had a bit of a metalic taste on the finish.
Not bad overall.

Dec 27, 2004 The commercial description reads, "For those who desire a weissbier without yeast." Who is that? This has much the same aroma and taste as Franziskaner’s hefe-weizen, but lacks that extra dimension that the bottle conditioning adds. Less fruitiness, less depth and complexity of taste, less enjoyment. This is still a decent drink, but it pales in comparison to the real deal. I’ve found the same to be true with all of the Kristalweizens.

Dec 25, 2004 Yellow color much limpid and diamond. Much effervescent. Adherent foam and much long-lasting one. Fresh aroma. Much fizzy, nearly prickly. Medium persistence. Altogether pleasant even if I prefer the Dunkel version.

Gold, with a hug white foamy head and crazy carbonation. The aroma is like the hefe-weissbeer, yet is lacking some of the wheat and seems a little bit more acidic. The banana and spices are alike though. The flavors are a bit thin. They are all there but none of them are all that bold. Wheat comes out the most and some citrus shows. The palate is a little tangy and the body is watery. It finishes dry and citrusy.

Nov 26, 2004 Clear yellow with a medium head. Corriander aroma. Wheaty taste and very dry. Much more tasty than I figured after seeing it.
