Commercial Description:
The source of its pearling, effervescent taste is the secret fermentation process which we have developed especially for our crystal wheat beer. It quenches your thirst like no other beer. With its elegant appearance, it is the speciality of our brewery. Goes well with fish, seafood and light dishes.

Bottle pours clear gold with a creamy white head. Aroma shows notes of lemongrass, bubblegum, and a trace amount of banana. Flavor is filled with wheat bread, citrus and a little bit of soap. Overall body is light, crisp and finishes on a slightly sour note. Slightly more simplistic hefe.

good clean beer. the aromas are nice and subtle, mainly resin . Looks great in the glass, very clear golden color. Taste is quite refreshing, slighlty light but with enough flavor to taste. lots of light bread, some spice.

Pours absolutely clear golden yellow with ample head but no lacing. The flavor is similar to a good hefe with a sweet banana aspect but lacking the yeast flavor, the creamy texture and with little there on the finish other than a little sour. More crisp than the hefeweizen but lacking in flavor.

Kind of enjoyed this one...the sourness was a bit refreshing. 10 karat brew with a nice 1/2 inch ivory head. Lots of lemongrass, yeast, and citrus both in aroma and flavor. Medium mouthfeel with ample carbonation. Good beer.

Bottle. To not belabor the review - this looks, smells and tastes like a dumbed-down version of their Hefe (which I guess, is kind of what it is). Aroma and flavor both have nice faint notes of classic hefe yeast, banana and clove, but they just linger in the background and the overall effect is a fairly thin, lightly flavored brew. It’s certainly drinkable - but not overly flavorful.

24th May 2008. 15 months past BBE date. A pale beer. Clean light malty tones with a subtle touch of sour caraway. Subtle banana tone. Crisp and dry.

bottle. Clear golden yellow, large white head. Very intensive aroma of banana and bubblegum. Rather light-bodied for the strength. Shy malty background with fruity banana flavours and shy hints of bubblegum. Shy finish with a small amount of hoppy bitterness.
