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.

First Kristall I have ever had I think it is the best beer I have had not counting Hoegarrden wit and Hacker Pshorre Weiss. I hope to try more Kristalls. I think it has such a good flavor. What I like about Weiss beers is that they have a real food like taste. They can be smoky or sweet. Each gulp is different, and great. This is a sweet one and tastes wonderful

Beautiful beer! Literally. Must be poured like I got it here at Bodega downtown La Crosse, in a tall weisse beer glass - then it looks so efervescent; almost glowing. Great offwhite foamy huge head with lots of lace. Immensely satisfying yet light and refreshing. Lovely typical esthery aroma, great fruity carbonated flavor. Body to match. Brilliant yellow gold color. I’m enjoying it with salted roasted giant Chinese soy beans. *burp*

This is a very nice, tasty, yet crisp, light, refreshing beer. It is gold with a huge, hard-to-control, dense white head that is thicki, long-lasting, only slowly diminishing to a permanent smaller head and it leaves nice lacing in even rings. The aroma is very aromatic but light in body, being light grain, pine, herbal, with a metallic hint. The taste is like the aroma, with definite, persistent, strong flavour, but light and crisp. There is a faint bubblegum element in the middle, before a crisp finish and a long, mellow grain aftertaste. It has light bitterness. In the end, a delicious, refreshing beer that is highly drinkable, light & crisp but very flavourful.

Incredibly refreshing with banana aroma and nice foamy head. Crispness in flavor and texture.Less demanding then their Hefe Weizen. This is my favorite wheat!

Pours clear, bright pale yellow with a full, semi creamy froth. Decent head retention. Good residual lacing w a full silky canopy. Aromas of crisp banana cream. Medium nectar w/ ample residual effers. The texture is somewhat creamy yet retains it’s snappy cripness. Flavors are bright, crisp, and clean w/ a defined banana spice character although not overdone . Well balanced and very refreshing with a slight lemon rind and peach pit bittering on the finish. Highly recommended.
