Bottle drunk at a restaurant in Südtirol waiting for some ribs, and possibly with them depending how fast their cook is. Last Kristallweizen I drank must have been 20 years ago in Richmond. Unsurprisingly it's crystal clear, yellow straw, with a big head but not so long lasting. Nose is pretty sedate compared to a normal Weißbier, but similar clove and banana hints. Nice sweetness on the tongue but with less of that creamy yeasty body. Very good balance with a hint of earthy hops in the aftertaste. More filling than a Helles, probably why this didn't catch on, most would take the lighter feeling Helles or a fuller tasting Weißbier. Its premise is like trying to persuade a lesbian to switch teams.

500ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Shared with Finn. Solid white head over a bright straw coloured body, upper part lacing on the glass. Mild wheaty nose, mid-sweet, lightly spiced. The taste profile has got hints of spies, ripe banana and wheat. Ends mid-sweet wheaty. Fair enough. (Bergstua, Malangen 28.10.2020).

Spandert av Rune. Delt på Bergstua. Veldig lys gylden. Klart. Middels høyt skum som blir film. Bananaroma. Smaken hvete & banan. Vel søt. Lett tørr avslutning.

This review was imported from my RateBeer ratings.

500ml bottle, 5.4% ABV

AROMA: Mild scents of banana and lemon.

APPEARANCE: Pours a clear, straw-gold with a tall, tight, white head that dissipates slowly with minimum lacing.

TASTE: A moderate amount of banana on the front end, then it fades away, and finally, it comes back again on the finish. Letting the beer rest on the tongue, and slightly warm, results in the discovery of other flavors such as, pear, lemon, and just a hint of spice,

MOUTHFEEL: Thin-bodied and a bit on the dry side. The carbonation level is slightly above average. Finish is short with a slight astringent "tang".

OVERALL: I've enjoyed many other beers from this brewer and will enjoy many more in the future. While I like this beer, I can't say that I'm excited by it, nor will I remember it. It's a perfectly fine beer, that I'm perfectly happy drinking now, and would be perfectly happy to drink in the future. Basically, it's a quality beer with a nice flavor that is easy to drink. Unfortunately, it has no "remember me" aspects. Which is a shame because I could see myself sipping on a few of these at an outdoor cafe while I relaxed and people-watched.
