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.

A light yellow beer with a beutiful though collapsing head. The aroma is of wheat and yeast - just like a wheatbeer should be. The flavor is of wheat with hints of banana and yeast - just like it should be - I think it is called 4-vinyl guajacol. An OK kristal - but really my type of beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pilsener golden and clear with a very, very white head. Classical dry, lightly sulphurous without much character really. 050501

50 cL bottle, trade with DerDobbelbock. Pours clear yellow with a dense white head. Wheaty, estery and banana aroma. Flavour is initially light caramel malty followed by a light estery flavour going into a nice wheaty note. Light orange fruity accen too. Ends estery and light fruity. Another fine kristallweizen brew, thanks Sebastian!

Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Clear golden, small head. Soapy estery banana aroma. Sweet with clean mouthfeel. Some butter and fried banana. Some of the yeast flavours has survuved the filtering, but some seems to have been replaced by soap.

Bottled. Pale yellow colour, big white head. Aroma is hops, some wheat and quite much earthyness. Flavour is wheat, banana and some hops and malts. Very boring kristallweizen, but still refreshing.
