Bottle:
Never have understood the reason for Kristalweizen...kind of a pointless genre...I have no frame of reference except that to judhe this with and as a Kristalweizen I suppose this is acceptable...no off tastes, well made but just pointless...nit of toffee malts overly filtered, no fruity esters or pheniols, no hop balance.. a tad bland and thin with a sweet finish....not my cup of T

Jun 27, 2008 Bottle. Nice example of a hefe this side of the pond. Nice head, very drinkable, only missing the sense of bubble gum. Perfect after a day "Trout Slaying".

Jun 25, 2008 12 oz. bottle on 6/25/08, brought to me by a friend from a recent trip to Montana. <P>Aroma - Starts with a little spiciness, fruity aromas follow, some graininess, and finally a little bubblegum.
Appearance - Clear yellow, medium white head that settles quickly.
Flavor - Fairly sweet up front, honey type flavors, then a slowly building soft bitterness sets in.
Palate - Light body, medium carbonation, faint stickiness, but a soft dry finish ultimately prevails.
Overall - Easy drinking, smooth, slightly sweet, could be a little cleaner and more tart for my tastes.

Flavors of wheat, straw, light citrus and a hint of spice with a smooth lightly dry lightly bitter finish.
