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 into weizen glass. Pours crystal clear yellow-gold, big fluffy white head, extremely effervescent. Nose is yeasty, bananas and lots of cloves in this one. Taste is tangy wheat, some bananas, cloves, kinda sweet towards the finish, dry. Finish is extremely clean and crisp, drops right off the palate. Mouthfeel is light and crisply carbonated. Obviously, the original is a fuller, better beer, but is a nice beer in its own right.

Aroma is a little skunky (in a good way) and musty. Pours crystal clear with a lot of fluffy head. In the flavor I can detect notes of clove and bananas. Partially sweet, and ending on that sweet note. Finishes on almost a nutty note.

Bright yellow in color with a decent sized white head. Aroma is of orange peel, bananas, peaches and nuts. Flavor is bananas, lemon zest and light wheat.

From BevMo at $3.69 this poured hazy gold with fat white head and good lacing. Nose was of caramel malts and some grain. Light and clean mouthfeel. Flavors are o banana, citrus, and clove. Nice finish. Easy to drink beer.

This was my first ever tasting of a Kristallweizen. I was curious what my favourite style of beer (hefeweizen) would taste like without yeast. Poured a nice clear gold with a typical weizen head...thick, foamy, and slowly dissipating. Banana, clove, and mild yeast and spices in the nose and flavour. Mild and sweet finish. Nothing bad to say about this one really, except I much prefer hefeweizens.

A little note of the tropics on the nose, with a classic golden body and a short, foamy white head, this is a great fizzy brew, crisp, satisfying.

Bottle. Yeasty lemon and banana aroma. Clear yellow-golden body, enormous thick fluffy white head. Flavor is very crisp and refreshing, with lemon, a little banana, and light sweetness. Excellent.
