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.

500ml bottle. Pours golden with large fluffy white head. Smells like a weizen. Taste is unique and smooth. Slightly bready, noticable amounts of banana & spice, slight clove, and yeast are present. Super balanced. I could suck on these puppies all night. This is a style i hope to try more of

Thanks hopscotch, this completes my beer styles. Filtered wheat appearance, and I guess that would be like a ubiquitous pale yellow american lager. Friendly weizen aroma with a touch of butyl, in a good way. Much more enjoyable than most hefeweizen, more towards the enjoyability of a witbier, with out the haze. Plenty of well desired fizz and carbonation. More friendliness than I expected for this style. Has a very mild bitter attribute that I cannot identify. A just plain good example of a pale yellow beer. Much more enjoyable than the typical pale yellow american beer!

Pours golden with a big white head. Aroma is bannana and bubble gum. Taste is the same flavors, like a hefe but a little bit smoother. Very good, my first Kristallweizen and I like it.

16.9 oz bottle-A clear golden with a nice two finger white head which has an aroma of wheat, yeast, and a little citrus. Taste of this light bodied brew comes across as some nice weizen characteristics of banana, clove, and some yeast but then it fades off on the back end. I’m glad I’m trying the #1 rated Kristallweizen. A nice smooth tasting weizen.

500ml bottle. Fruity wheat aroma. Lively and light mouthfeel. Bright gold colour. Refreshing taste - lighter and less in your face than many wheatbeers. Very nice stuff.
