The clarity of our Kristallweissbier is achieved through filtration, and it is the only top-fermented beer brewed by the Bavarian State Brewery Weihenstephan that is not cloudy.

Bottle with code 7362 09:30:03, drunk 8/24/23. Clear bronze. Massive, white head showing good retention due to, I assume, lots of forced carbonation. Seltzery, clean, mineral-heavy nose with specks of unripe stone fruit flesh and strong cracker and biscuit from the wheat. Light pepper, pear, soggy honey and loose carbonation. But it's super clean and the malt flavor is lovely, despite the texture being so loose/watery. Delicate esters and phenols, per their yeast. It's a shame they don't still bottle condition this even after filtering, as it's a nice change of pace if you don't want as full and chewy a beer, but the forced carb really makes it a bummer.
