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.

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.

Pours light golden color with a thick fluffy white head. Slightly fruity, wheat, banana, yeasty, bread aroma. Nice light body, wheat, yeasty taste. Very refreshing, yet I feel like I am not giving anything up taste wise. I have it paired with a turkey sandwich on a warm day in Florida and it is a perfect compliment.

Bottle 500 ml
Appearance :Kritstall I style but cant escape fine hazing. Golden ale with large white soft , pillow like top 3+
Nose :Refreshing fruity wheat nose , light tart grainy feel with sweet sugar plums , red apple and sweet yams.
Flavor/Palate : Short thin front but with log lasting classical wheat middle. Soft grainy character with refreshing somewhat sharp burst of citric wheat. Thirst quenching brew that makes excellent session wheat. Out of bottle this classic is good would love to try on tap at source.
