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.

(bottle) Aroma is typical of German wheat beer, with muted banana. Poured a brilliant crystal clear golden colour with substantial wheat head. Flavour was of sweet malt and clove. Very filling for a wheat beer, and surprisingly flavourful for a filtered Weissbier.

Very light, fizzy pour. Aroma has a touch of floral hops, plus some rich, malty tones, which is surprising for such a pale brew. There is a wee bit of corn and cheese too. This tastes very light and crisp, with some wheat malt, and is clearly a summer beer. This appears to be a milder, filtered version of their magnificent hefeweizen, and a little lemon goes nicely with it. This is a good light brew, and surprisingly, it is ratebeer’s number one beer for the style.

NIce hazy orange yellow color with rich whie head. The taste is the good old classic german beer taste. It’s similar to the paulaner taste but a little more easygoing. Very nice though. Surely worth a try.

Pours clear gold into the glass with a small white head. Aroma still has some banana and clove present. Flavor is wonderfully refreshing with a clean malt and wheat giving way to a crisp hop presence. This is a highly quaffable beer that I will now make sure to keep around!

Bottle at ABC beer tasting. Poured a pale gold with a foamy white head. Flavor was sweet and malty. Dry and a bit sweet with a malty and hop undertones.

Bottle as shown. Pours a clear yellow golden with a medium frothy white head that leaves behind good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is yeasty wheat with banana and citrus. Medium mouthfeel with a bubblegum flavor with clove and banana with a nice dry finish. Easy to drink, a very good Kristallweizen.

Pours light gold with white bubbly head that lasts. Not much on the nose maybe a earthy banana. Flavors are of effervesent herb, yeast and light banana. Very crisp, refreshing beer!
