Maisels Weisse Kristall

Brewed by Brauerei Gebr. Maisel Bayreuth
Style: German Kristallweizen
Bayreuth, Germany

A light orange beer with a huge white head. The is sweet wheaty with primary notes going in the citrusy way, but also hints of banana, and hops. The flavor is clean wheaty with medium notes of banana, but also some citrus notes. The end is dry wheaty. I like the cleaness of this one - I believe it is the best Kristallweizen I’ve had.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, golden beer with a tall, handsome head. Fresh and fruity with a dry malt flavour. One of the better Kristalls. 260101
