Schneider Weisse Kristall

Brewed by Weissbierbrauerei G. Schneider & Sohn
Style: German Kristallweizen
Kelheim, Germany

Nice golden with a big head and strong carbonation and very slight haze. Bubblegum and clove aroma, with some citrusy notes. flavour is banana and spice, nothing great, but not bad either.

Light clear blond color. Lightly spicy and banana aroma. Sooooo simple taste, watery, a bit sweet.

Yellow coloured. Some banana in the aroma. Very thin and rather sour flavour. A lousy brew.

Piss yellow beer with a foamy white head. Wheat, banana and hay aroma. Flavor of banana, wheat and yeast. Very weak and boring for a Weissbier!

A clear orange beer with a diappearing white head. The aroma is of sour wheat. The flavor of banana and wheat. Boring kristalweizen.

Strong Vanilla scent. Big head which hangs around for ever. Very clear and pale. No cloudiness at all. Light carbonation on the tongue. Slight bitterness. I am wondering what chucking a bit of lemon into this would do? Maybe I try that next time when I have some lemon lying around. Nice enough, but nothing memorable. I keep thinking that a kristall ought to be a brilliant summer afternoon beer but they never seem to deliver. Maybe I have it all wrong.

Looks great in the glass, head retention is good. Lacking some of the aromas I really like (sweet wheat malt, peachy fruitiness) whilst a bit strong on the vanilla and clove. Bubble gum and banana also present at low levels. Has a nice sweet maltiness but not the juicy maltiness that makes some other Weizens so good. Very slight bitterness which I could have done without.

A poor brother to the Edel Weisse. It pours almost clean(not cloudy) and keeps a dandy head to the end. Flavours are a tad subtle with a lemon flavour leading the pack, although they don't linger as much as they should.
