phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Jun 6, 2008 This brew pours a clear golden colour with an initially large fluffy white head. Lots of carbonation, great retention in the head but zero lacing. Aroma is of honey, malt and potatoes. Taste is full on the palate, semi sweet and fruity forward with soft honey and raspberries. spikester (602), Salem, Oregon, USA Jun 5, 2008 Pours light amber with a 1 inch white head. Few lacings.
Nice vegetal aroma.
Taste is sweet malts and slightly bitter hops. Good balance, good session brew. Good beginner brew. Very drinkable. Dry, bitter finish. knights97 (80), Tennessee, USA Jun 1, 2008 golden body with a thin body, easy to drink, crisp taste of wheat, nothing more than a good beer to drink a few on a hot day pinkzambia (986), Boise, Idaho, USA May 29, 2008 Bottle: Clear, pale gold with no head. Corny, grainy aroma. Thin, pseudo-sweet, sour flavors kind of like unripe vegetables. The flavor escapes the tongue quickly and in this case, I guess it isn’t bad. Ok. IndianaRed (1553), Boise, Idaho, USA May 29, 2008 Bottle Pours a pelucid light yellow/orange witha light and quick frothy head. Light grain aroma. A bit vegitative and papery. Lively palate and a slightly sweet cereal falvor.
Not much of the classic German Kris notes.
Nice try Pyramid.
BuckeyeBoy (1639), Boise, Idaho, USA May 29, 2008 Bottle Pours out a clear gold topped with a white head. Aroma of wheat and malt. Crisp tast of sweet wheat. My first German Kristal JPDIPSO (4864), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA May 27, 2008 Clear golden color with a moderate off-white head that settles to a solid lid of creamy bubbles. Dry, floury wheat aromas. A touch of fruit, but not much there otherwise. Crisp and clean in flavors. That said, not many flavors. Light sweet wheat, hints of light fruit and a bit of herbal hops. Some light citrus in the finish and linger.
