Mar 16, 2007 Crystal clear gold body with a huge, pillowy white head. Aroma of banana and clovy, like a hefe. Flavor has more of the same, with a hoppy bite and lots of effervescence. Finishes sweet and tart. My first sample of an interesting style.

Mar 15, 2007 Pours suck a pale yellow it is almost void of any color at all. Large expanding foamy head. Aroma is light fruit, pear and apple, with notes of wheat. Foam sings like a bowl of Rice Krispies. Very light and smooth drinking, bit of an oily feel, with a bit of spice in the flavor with preludes a gentle warmth. Very nice.

Mar 13, 2007 500ml bottle:
Yellow straw colour beer, with a huge frothy pure white head, generous carbonation visible.
Wheaty nose, sweet with hints of lemon, some spicy esters also apparent.
Light flavours of spice and banana esters, wheat is at the fore smooth, rolls along the tongue effoertlessly , some citric elements come into play, fast dry finish.
A very drinkable beer from Germany and my first Kristallweizen..

Mar 13, 2007 poured into a tall goblet. pours a clear golden yellow with lots of bubbly carbonation. has a full white frothy head, aroma of sweet wheat. taste is good and wheaty, very light and refreshing. sweet on the front, with a wheaty middle to finish. a filtered hefeviezen, good, but I like unfiltered better. German beers are very reliable and crisp, though that is there standard.....

Mar 11, 2007 Pours a lovely yellow golden hue, aromas of bananas, lemon sorbet, flowers, cereal, and yeast rise out of frothy white head, mostly lasting, sheets of fine lace. Pale biscuity malts, banana, yeast, quiet dry palate, faint hops, yeasty twang. Skinny, but flavorful.

Mar 11, 2007 Updated: Oct 9, 2007Maybe it is me but I am not a Kristall Weissbier fan, it seems like they make a flavourful weiss then suck all the flavour out it. Page 489 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide.
