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 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.

Maybe 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.

Pours crystal clear pale pale yellow with big, dense, lasting head. Lively carbonation. Slight clove aroma, slight banana aroma. Mouthfeel is a bit watery. Not great.

Carbonation was good with compact bubbles. Color is crystal clear gold. Aroma was banana and citrus. Flavor is not overly sweet. Not bad. Mouthfeel is very smooth. Very light body.

An excellent Weizen. Poured to a thick white head which quickly disappeared back into the glass. Color is light golden brown. Aroma is nice. Mouthfeel is smooth with little aftertaste. Flavor is great for a hefe. Do not use a lemon.

Pours a crystal clear pale yellow. The head is huge, frothy, and of decent duration. Carbonation is good with tight, compact bubbles. Aroma is initially strong with banana but soon gives way to a more fruiiness and finally a dry spicey quality. The flavor of the first few sips is fruity and then lighly spiced. Eventually this gives way to a more dry and somewhat champagne like feel. The feel overall is light and crisp.

My least favorite of the Weizen family. All the unfiltered goodness has been filtered leaving me with a bland, banana-y, thin-palate, weak brew. Sigh.

Poured a pale yellow with a huge white fluffy head that lasted quite a while. Great lacing. Very sweet citrus smell. Tast was not overly sweet. Citrus, banana, although very slight...Very yeasty up front, and slightly bitter, dry finish...Very drinkable beer. Really, no aftertaste at all. Would be a great summer brew...
