Found this the other day in Okinawa! Imagine that! Anyway, pours out a clear yellow with a massive billowing white head. Aroma is sweet and yeasty with lemon, nutmeg, banana, and bubblegum sweetness. Taste is also very sweet, maybe a bit too much. Very refreshing as lemon and nutmeg mix with fizzy carbonation. Light palate and mouthfeel but not too bad at all!

Aug 21, 2008 ...bottle. Clove, citrus and hints of bananna on the nose with some wheat. Pours a clear golden yellow, with a nice puffy white head, and lively carbonation that lasts untill the end. Flavors are subtle compared to the unfiltered version, with a lighter body and less creamy consistancy. Still a good brew with wheat malt, clove, citrus and some slight hop notes coming through. Finishes dry, but lacks the flavor of the original. That is always the case with any kristal, the beer must be unfiltered for the true full flavor experience. That goes for any wheat based beer if you want maximum flavor. Still very drinkable and good, but go for the normal hefe.
