Bottle. Thanks to bockeyhorsey. Poured a golden body, cycloned to a huge head. Aroma is of spices - corriander. Lite flavor with the spices working it’s way on the tongue. Very easy drinking and smooth. The taste is lite and so is the flavor, but it comes out with a satisfying citrus flavor. A good beer for a warm day like today.

This beer is a treat! Aroma grassy, fresh, delicious with hints of spice. Pours clear lemon yellow with huge white head, bursting out of the bottle. Cloves and root beer, citrus, some sweetness, smooth palate, tiny bubbles dance in the mouth on the swallow. This is very very good. I think I just found my new favourite beer.

Pale gold out of the bottle with a fizzy white head and a sweet yeasty nose. Sharp yeast and lemon notes with some banana and clove spice. All the flavor a weizen but not the mouthfeel. Tastey beer and good with food.

When the brewery that’s been around for hundreds ofyears longer than the United States claims a specific beer as its ’specilaity’, you can expect greatness. Almost Everything about this beer demonstrates its superiority, it’s effervescence, sweetness, dry finish. It’s exceptional. I noticed it lacks the enticing aroma of the brewery’s Hefe but it is still excellent. You dont’ like this bottled beer, you don’t like weizens and you shouldn’t rate them.

Light clear gold in color with a two finger head, no lacing. Lemon and orange aroma. Balanced blend of hops, grains, bubble gum. No aftertaste.

This stuff is great. Like the name implies, it pours crystal clear light to medium amber. It is more carbonated than most, has a very pleasant fruity nose, excellent tasting with wheat and citrus notes, very pleasing aftertaste. Don’t put a slice of lemon in this, it doesn’t need it.

Bottle 50cl. Poured a clear, pale yellow, like a light pilsener. Blooming white head. Very pleasant aroma: sweet with hints of banana, cloves and the classic bubblegum. Similar in taste, very refreshing with the excellent distinctive weiss taste, slightly sour and highly enjoyable. Perfect mouthfeel; full yet soft and light. Brilliant tasty weiss, its difficult to decide whether the kristall or the hefe is better...

Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Clear golden, small head. Soapy estery banana aroma. Sweet with clean mouthfeel. Some butter and fried banana. Some of the yeast flavours has survuved the filtering, but some seems to have been replaced by soap.
