Bottle looks good. Beer in the glass modest zippy, small head. Starts mild, but not washy, modest yeasty, some fruity hints of apricot. Well balanced finish. Quite drinkable. Tastes like a mild weizen, but not like a light one. Good.

Bottle 50cl, a slightly cloudy yellow beer, nose is low on banana and fresh bread. Aroma is weizen like, sightly sweet, some astringency watery body, finish is on fresh bread, drinkable but no more.

Die Krone stürtzt leider schnell in sich zusammen. Das Bier ist besonders im Nachgeschmack recht wässrig, es gibt aber durchaus "normale" Weissbiere, die so schmecken. Etwas herb, leicht säuerlich und auch etwas hefig ist das Bier schon, eine echte Alternative zum Original ist es nicht, als Leichtbier ist es aber zu empfehlen. Test vom 8.11.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 5,8,8,4,8,8 - 7,10
