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.

I’m at a loss as to why this style exists, are people afraid of unfiltered cloudy beers? I’m going to give this beer the same rating i gave their Hefe cause its the same beer, and it tastes identical, its just looks like a lager.

bottle 500ml 6,2e at St Urho’s Pub Helsinki EXP 030609 pale yellow creamy white head fizzy. Pleasant kick of phenols and banana from first sip. Malty grain hops in aftertaste tasty one. I had ignored kristall wheat beers years thinking lack of taste and preferred unfiltered ones.

Pours a pale translucent yellow. Profuse white head. Looks like a pils almost. The nose is very wheaty, yeasty, citrusy, sharp lemongrass. The flavor is very wheaty, crisp grassy hop flavor, yeasty, bready, lightly lemony. Very refreshing mouthfeel and very quaffable.

500 mL bottle. Golden and active with a small, dissipating white head. The aroma is not much different than their straight weisse. The flavour, however, is milder - perhaps a side effect of tastebuds being overwhelmed by the high carbonation. Quite crisp and refreshing. A good situational beer.

Bottle. Pours a pale, crystal clear yellow with a frothy white head. Aroma is banana & cloves. Clean, thin dry palate. Flavor is wheat, light spice & light hops. Good warm weather beer.

La migliore kristallweizen tedesca assaggiata fino ad oggi mi fa un pochino ino ricredere sull’inutilità dello stile; effettivamente sviluppa, soprattutto nel sapore, un carattere piuttosto personale nei confronti della sua sorella non filtrata, che si risolvono in un agrumato pungente che sacrifica la pastosità della hefe per acquistare una grande piacevolezza beverina e dissetante. E’ anche un prodotto di discreta qualità, per dire; le due cose vanno bene.

Pours a clear gold with a huge head. Big aroma of banana, wheat, citrus, spices. Nice palate, nice flavor.

Pours a clearish bubbly golden color with a medium sized white head. Smell is crisp malt, wheat and light hops. A bit lager like. Tastes like a pale lager brewed with wheat. Some light yeast flavor. Decent, easy drinking if not a touch overcarbonated.
