Kristalweizen is a clear, yeast free version of the Hefeweizen style, and is a great summer beer with its refreshing and crisp taste. Our brew is 50% wheat and 50% malted barley, along with the addition of Czech Styrian Golding hops that add a light flowery note. A classic German Weizen yeast imparts a tart crispness, and subtle fruity weizen character.

Pour is a clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is a little clove and spice with breadyness. Flavor is a dull wheat and none of the cloves show up in the flavor. Kinda finishes dry but uneventful. My samples of this style are few and far between so i would not even know of this is close to being spot on for the style.

Sampler @ brewpub. Comes to me with a completely clear, dark straw color. The carbonation is visible and strong. Has a thick head that leaves a lightly sticky lacing. It looks very nice, I am surprised I could find beauty in a filtered beer but this works. Aroma is surprisingly a thick white bread maltiness with some lemon and herbal hops. Definitely comes off as a filtered hefe but it actually works great. The esters are so reduced that these other aspects shine, especially since they are so vibrant and clean. Taste is similar where the lemon aspects are stronger. A beautiful execution of a clean wheat beer. It is easy drinking and fun, I never thought I would say that about a Kristal Weizen.
