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.

One pint 0.9 oz. bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar: Pale straw color with a humongus bright white head. Aroma is sweet and lightly hop spicy. Flavor starts sweet and wheaty with a light taste of lemon and a spicy bitter finish with a fruity aftertaste. Light bodied, crisp and clean with lively carbonation.

Pours to a nice golden yellow with good carbonation and a medium white head, which dissipates very quickly and leaves no lacing. Aroma and flavor were very strongly bread and wheat, with clove spice playing a big part in the taste as well. Unfortunately, palate was much too dry, and even slightly metallic. But a good beer.

Bottle. Thanks to WB or DB one of them hooked me up with this at the Madness and I finally remembered to drink it. Aroma, banana,apple and wheat. Poured a golden yellow with a fizzy head. Flavor was good, lively wheaty banana apple mixture and a tad of yeastiness. Palate was quite lively and light. Overall I liked it, so much so it would be a good beer to keep around.

Clear, dark yellow with a frothy white head. Lively carbonation. Nose is full of spice, banana, yeast and wheat. Very crisp and clear. Flavor has a lot of the banana esters with a good backing of the yeast. Bittering hops and some citrus, a little lemon. The mouthfeel is a touch fuzzy and it finishes off with a good deal of banana and yeast. Tangy, almost.

500ml bottle. Incredibly clear yellow with a big foamy white head. Wheaty nose, light banana, lemon and clove. Fairly light bodied, a very easy drinker. Flavor is everything from the nose, plus a touch more spice (coriander?) Really pleasant, I liked this very much!

A great beer for summer, lots of carbonation, takes a minute to settle, nice warming spiciness to it. Abit of sweetness to it, very easy drinking! nice brew!

From 500mL. Pours a crystal clear dark yellow with tight foamy white head. Nose is banana, lemon and light wheat. Flavor follows with a crisp finish. A very enjoyable and drinkable beer.

500ml. Pours bright gold with sparkling carb, and a big frothy bright-white head. Sweet and sour nose--grassy, and apple-tart/acidic. Nice mild grass and spice palate leavened with a bit of cleansing tart. Great, clean, drinkable stuff. Seems quite subdued compared to what we think of in wheat beers out here, but I suppose that’s just that Continental refinement showing.
