llcooldave (180), San Antonio, Texas, USA May 22, 2008 Beautiful clear pale golden in color. Immediate nutty cereal notes in the aroma, sorta like Total brand or Wheaties. Aroma does tend to shift to a more fruityness as it warm up. Flavor is awesome. Very clean malty taste with a lingering bitterness at the end. This is my first Kristallweizen and I’m hooked...
Walter_Smidge (7), Sydney, Australia does not count Oct 11, 2008 A pale sraw colour with a fine pearl head this beer had tropical aromas of Banana, honey and mango.
Highly refreshing and very palatable this is a very easy to drink beer. There is little residual bitterness and is not heavy on the stomach.
Flavours of wheat and fruit make this a summery beer and a top notch one at that. kkearn (689), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 4, 2008 bottle. Pours clear golden, with a huge frothy white head. Aroma of wheat, with clove and banana. Flavor was as advertised in the aroma, with hefty wheat, nicely complimented by banana, yeast, and spice. Active, effervescent carbonation. Very flavorful for a Kristal. hombrepalo (506), Chicago, Illinois, USA Sep 19, 2008 1 pint something, my first taste at a Kristallweizen, and to tell you the truth I cant tell the diffrence between this and the regular hefe-weizen. Poured clear golden body with huge white head with very large bubbles rising. Bananas, a little alcohol, citrus. Clean , crisp mouthfeel, a little lemon and a nice balanced bite at the end. Great beer for the summer.
glennmastrange (413), hobe sound, Florida, USA Sep 16, 2008 Bottle. Moderate aroma of grain, light herbs for the hops, moderate musty and barnyard for the yeast, with clove and vegetables in the background. Head is huge, rocky, white with good lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is sparkling clear gold. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic then finshes lightly acidic and very lightly bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery and has a lively carbonation. I didn’t expect the depth of tastes in this beer because of it’s clarity. RSRIZZO (1027), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Sep 11, 2008 Aroma is a faint malt scent with a bold skunk scent in the back. Color is a bright gold with average carbonation and a loose white head. Taste is light sweet and spicy. Starting with a light body it goes down easy and crisp. Finish comes in with a light sweet maltiness, a hint of coriander and just a touch of orange. After taste is clean. This is a very good Kristallweizen and even though there is skunk in the aroma there is none in the taste.
