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).

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.

Halmgul klar vätska med fingertjock skum. Lätt brödig och gräsig arom men framförallt en del skumbana och nejlika. Ren och stram beska samt ännu mer skumbanan och kryddnejlika i smaken.

Bottle from Beers Of Europe. Pours a clear golden colour with a large thick creamy white head. Nice looking beer. Strong aromas of bananas and cloves, coriander, bubblegum, pears and a little spice. Taste had the same notes again as the aroma more upfront bananas and cloves. Light to medium bodied, slightly oily mouthfeel and just a little peppery spice on the finish. Overall it’s a nice flavoury beer.

Ik vind de ongefilterde versies vaak beter te drinken. Wel betshuntings.

500ml bottle purchased from Beers of Europe and drunk at home. Light yellow, clear with loads of visible carbonation and a sizeable white head. Classic hefe aroma but dialled back a few notches: a touch of banana, citrus peel, yeast roll, sweet spice. Taste is sweet and light, with gentle and slightly astringent hop in the back of the tongue. Short finish, with a watery body and heavy carbonation. It's good, but suffers from comparison.
