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.

500 ml bottle. Pours a huge fluffy lasting white head, over a crystal clear pale yellow (SRM 5) body....nose of bread yeast, apple, clove, lemon, some banana.....tastes early of mild wheat malts, then clove, apple and lemon dominate, with clove lingering.....mouth feel is light, carbonation fairly high. A wonderfully complex effort considering how light the ingredients really are.

I’m not a huge weiss beer fan, but I like to kick back with one every now and then to keep it interesting. This seemed like a very full bodied and flavorful weiss. Lots of clove and banana esthers. Would like to try this with a touch of lemon wedge.

bottle. Pours a syrupy bright yellow color with a huge bright white head. Head recedes and leaves a filmy lacing on top. Nose is bananas and light pepper with some clove hints and a sugary sweetness. Palate is syrupy and full with a light effervescent. Flavors are light banana, some nice sweet malt notes, sugars, and a clean finish.

Bottle. Pours a large, creamy, pitted, white head with a clear, golden colored body. More Bavarian countryside malt aroma - wheat, hay and straw accompanied by a big-time clove presence. Rounded out by some vanilla and a touch of banana. Medium body with lively carbonation. Lightly tart, metallic finish. Very tasty beer.

Bottle. Looks fanatastic-pours with a huge rocky white head and a lively light yellow body. Big yeast driven aroma and flavour profile being oriented more to banana than clove. A pleasant lively mouthfeel and a slightly acidic finish. A great beer.

Bottle Pours a clear yellow with a big white head. The head has average staying power but I see bubbles popping rapidly. Laces fairly well. Aroma is sweet with hints of fruits, Pepper, and wheat. Has a decent carbonation and a pretty good mouthfeel. The taste is good with plenty of spices. Very clean. Has a medium body and a watery texture. A pretty good finish with a good aftertaste. Not a bad beer.

500 ml bottle from Canal’s Hainesport. Pours a super thin pale gold, very macroish, with an above average size bright white fluffy head. Aroma of cloves, banana, wheat, slight pepery notes. Watery bodied with very strong carbonation, especially for how watery this one feels. Flavor is like a weissbier light, slight wheat and clove but seems watered down.

Pours a clear golden body with a white, lacing head. Smells of banana and yeast. Flavors is of yeast, banana, and dirt. Finish fades fast.
