Sudwerk Kristalweizen

Brewed by Sudwerk Privatbrauerei Hubsch
Style: German Kristallweizen
Davis, California USA

Serve in Weizen

Clove, coriander and banana nose. Very soft and crisp palate with very soft hop bitterness. Nice crisp clean session wheat.

Deep golden color; very fine, soft head. Moderate clovey aroma accented with some ripe bananas. Sweet, yeasty flavor (more banana goodness) with a light sour edge.

On tap at the brewpub in Davis, CA. 16 ounce sample. Clove-like, banana yeasty esters in the nose. A bit of floral aroma also makes a presence. This is rather aromatic and quaffable. Transparent golden body with a small, wispy whitish head. Spritzy citrus, lemony astringency to start. Becomes more banana-like with some cereal graininess in the middle. Finishes with some light, metallic hoppiness late. Flavorful, crisp, refreshing. Thankfully, this is not their hefeweizen that is just filtered.
