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.

It had a hazy gold color and tasted much like a light beer. It was very crisp and the flavor was full and great!

Pours a light, cloudy yellow with a white head. I had this at a bar in Helen which was great because it is a german wheat ale in a German city. I drank this out of a Weizen

A fantastic German weissbeer. Pours a hazy straw color with great lacing and a fluffy white head. Tastes traditional but has some fruit notes, a very smooth finish and great aftertaste.

Pours a clear straw color with no head after the little bit that first shows quickly dissipates. Nose is yeasty with a touch of lemon. Taste is sweet and evenly so. Even as it warms the flavor stays constant. Mouthfeel has a good carbonation to it and an even feel. Highly drinkable.

Absolutely clear uriney yellow. Steadfast white foam. Nose of wheat, wet carpet, garlic. A very slight metallic twang and onion sweat. Such a clean taste. Fresh cut grass, minerals, salt. Sweet bananas. Sweaty and crisp with a compost stench in the mouth. Deteriorates quickly with warmth, and momentary hints of discount vodka become more commonplace. Alternatively refreshing and entirely intolerable. Mild spice at the end. Acidic palate with a citrus soda crunch and a distant sour smack. Hard to take any impression from this. Decent, maybe.

(Bottle) Pours a clear golden color, with a large amount of white head. High carbonation. Aroma of some citrus and yeast. Taste is clean, with some fruity notes and light spice. Good mouthfeel. Somewhat soapy taste, especially the head. Pretty good.
