Bouteille 341ml. De couleur dorée jaune et transparente aux léger reflets voilés. Nez de levures fruitées (citron, notes de bananes et traces de poires), légèrement malté de biscuits sucré et léger de blé avec des notes de houblon herbeux, de céréales et d’épices. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-doux et une texture légèrement huileuse et aqueuse. Moyen goût de levures fruitées (citron et zest d’agrumes, notes de bananes et de poires vertes) avec de faibles notes d’épices lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un léger goût malté de biscuit sucré, de blé (légèrement asséchant) et de céréales ainsi que de faibles notes de miel et des traces de butterscotch puis en finale l’on retrouve un léger goût amer de houblon herbeux aux notes florales. Post-goût moyen-court et aux notes sèches, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux avec un léger goût de blé et des notes fruitées (zest d’agrumes).

Bottle (341ml). Via trade with Viper666. Pale gold, light haze, small fizzy white head. Smells of butterscotch and yeast cake, sour canola and some medicine. Taste is slightly fermented corncobs and honey - an odd combo, with a hint of perfume/stale hops. Flat, slick, sticky mouthfeel, watery and thankfully quick off the palate - not horrid, but not one to have again.

A lightly hazed yellowish weizen with a thick creamy white head. Rather on the citrusy side, wiht light fruity esters. In mouth, a crisp weizen, with none of the sweet fruitiness expected for the style, rather bitter. Not too bad, not too style. Bottle from Joanette, Spring 2007.

Bottle - 341ml. Hazy pale blond body with good carbonation and a fair white frothy head. Its malty/hoppy aroma carries citrusy, biscuity and grassy notes. Taste is fair, but it is a way too bitter for a Kristallweizen. It ends with a short bitter finish. Drinkable, but does not really corresponds to the style.

341 ml bottle from Métro Joannette, Verdun QC (May 2007) served a little above fridge temperature from a Ramstein weizen glass. A big fluffy head spews forth, nicely topping the clear, rather watery-looking golden body, but dying quickly and leaving little in the way of lacing....lemon-lime soda, water crackers, and just a hint of banana in the mild, forgettable nose....the body too is dull, though there’s nothing offensive or off about it, just very faint wheaty tartness, perhaps a light note of raspberry, and a dryish, short finish....decent carbonation level, slightly thin....this isn’t too bad an example of the style I guess; it’s just that the style itself, from what I’ve experience, is one of the duller out there. Pointless, really.
