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.

With so few authentic kristallweizens out there, this one was a refreshing summer beverage. It pours a very light golden color, almost looks like a light offering from an American mass domestic, but the pour produces a beautiful frothy white head. The head lasted for quite a while on top of a mildly fizzy beer. The aroma delivered the pleasant and expected estery and fruity notes, predominantly banana. Taste of wheat, but a nice crispness to it and finishes clean. It’s rare to have a tasty beer that really quenches your thirst AND provides a balanced flavor as well. Nice with lemon chicken dish.

Bottled. Pale yellow colour, big white head. Aroma is hops, some wheat and quite much earthyness. Flavour is wheat, banana and some hops and malts. Very boring kristallweizen, but still refreshing.

500ml bottle, pours a clear golden color with little head, kind of a light flavor some bananas and wheat, very crisp and clean, pretty good for the style, just what it says, its crystal clear.

Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma is of wheat, hay, grain, and slight banana. Flavor is pretty light with banana and cloves up front and finishing with wheat, clove, and yest. Not really that good and wasn’t quite what I was expecting on this one.

Bottle. Pale gold with a big white head. Aroma of bananas, grain and yeast. Flavour of more bananas with some spice. Very smooth drinking with a pleasant dry finish. Probably my favourite Kristalweizen.

I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor of this beer, the aroma with hints of banana nearly scared me away. Carbonation is over the top. My first Kristall.

(Bottle) Pours golden. Incense, banana and clove in aroma. Light flavour of banana, clove and wheat. Round and buttery mouthfeel. Light to medium bodied. A very nice kristall.
