Nov 2, 2009 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.

Oct 29, 2009 Bottle. Clear pale gold with good white head that disappeared quickly. Nice interesting estery aroma. Wonderfoull mouthfeel with medium body and frothy fine carbonation. An initial lightly grainy falvour gives way to bananas and citrus notes with a long finish of very mild hoppy bitterness. A nice weissbier.

Oct 28, 2009 From bottle, LA Beerfest. Pour is perfectly gold, with light elegant carbonation. Aroma is faintly banana, wheat, and mild herbal hops. Flavor is much the same, a light, banana-y, thin Hefeweizen. It’s like if you take Weihen’s original Hefe, through it through a filter to extract much of the body and flavor from the beer. The result is simple, much less flavorful, and ultimately quite boring.

Oct 23, 2009 Presentation: It was poured from a brown 500ml bottle into a Weizen glass. There is no freshness date on the label but there is a bottle number 0079 on the back label.
Appearance: The body has a clear golden color with lots of beautiful carbonation steaming up to the surface. The pour produced a very tall, aggressive and tight foamy head. It has a bright white color with great retention and lacing.
Smell: Its nose is full of fruity yeast with notes of banana and clove. There are notes of pale beady wheat as well and just a touch of citrus.
Taste/Palate: The flavor is very bright and fresh with plenty of fruity yeast. There are notes of banana, clove and a slight hint of citrus fade into dry crisp wheat malt notes. The finish is very crisp and snappy with some wheat tang and citrus quickly leaving the tongue. The body has a solid medium feel with cleansing active carbonation.
Notes: This was my first Kristalweizen and I was very impressed with the bright clean flavor and good solid yeast flavor. There was much more yeast character than I was expecting in this crystal clear German wheat beer.

Oct 23, 2009 500ml bottle served in a weiss glass. Crystal clear golden pour with a thick head of creamy off-white foam that slowly settled. Very nice lacing. The aroma had fresh banana, bubblegum, and bready yeast. The flavor consisted of light wheat and banana. Minimal yeast spiciness. The mouthfeel was slightly sharp and crisp. Moderate carbonation. Decent, but this was pretty mild on the yeast esters for my tastes.

Oct 22, 2009 Clear semi hazy golden yellow color with a small head. Aroma has some sweetness, yeast, fruit, banana, and faint spice. Nice carbonation. Flavor is bright, crisp, spice and yeast with some fruit. Nice body.

Oct 22, 2009 50cl bottle into signature weizen glass. Pours clear bright yellow with a thick collar of foamy white head that mostly persists. Nose of bread, bananas, lemon citrus and soft spicy hops. Palate is medium bodied with a lively mouthfeel and a crisp refreshing sweetish finish. Smooth and easily drinkable. Probably the definitive Bavarian filtered wheat beer but this is not a style I am particularly fond of. I would suggest sticking to this brewery’s Hefeweizens which have a thicker almost chewy palate and more complex yeasty flavours.
