Kristallklare Brillanz und temperamentvoll perlende Kohlensäure sind die herausragenden Merkmale von Maisel’s Weisse Kristall und machen es zu einer herrlich prickelnden Erfrischung. Durch die besondere Komposition sonnengereifter Weizensorten und heller Gerstenmalze, vergoren und gereift mit unserer speziellen Weissbierhefe, entfaltet sich beim Antrunk ein ausgewogenes Bouquet verschiedenster Fruchtnuancen. Aromen von reifer Banane bis hin zu einer leichten Zitrusnote vermischen sich beim Abgang mit dem typischen, leicht würzigen Weissbieraroma.

[backlog] 30-04-16 / bottle at Krokodil. I started rating my beers with Untappd and a few basic notes. Now I want to rate them on ratebeer. So my rating sometimes lack some information. Just ignore it, it is for my personal statistics. Untappd-Rating 2.75/5

Pours clear gold with a fluffy white head. Aroma is fairly typical for a Weizen with banana and yeast coming to the fore. However the beer is much more light bodied than Maisels original, a sort of Maisels Lite if you like. The flavors are less pronounced than the original; the banana remains and is accompanied by a light lemon bitterness, particularly in the aftertaste. It is the excellent aroma which keeps drawing you back in and reminding you that this is really a Weizen. Decent, and I am obviously not a fan of the style, but I just don’t see a reason to drink this if the original is available.

Draft at Bamberger Weissbierhaus during the Bamberg Jolly. Pours perfectly clear gold, effervescent, with a fluffy, pure white head. Good stuff, moderately sweet, with some sugary wheat, white bread, too. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Sweet finish, simple and sugary, with more mellow wheat notes. Basic but alright.

500ml bottle into weizen glass. Creamy sweet wheat/ banana nose, a bit sweet and sour. Very pale yellow beer with the usual towering white head. Light carbonation. Smooth and creamy in the mouth. Taste is bananas, cloves, even a little smoky umami. Citric hops at the end round it off. Great balance, great beer.

Bottle at home thanks to Roman. Crystal clear golden beer with a fluffy electric white head that dissipates relatively quickly. Fruitiest nose on a krystall I’ve had. Tastes of banana candy, slight herbal, wheat, some vanilla bean. Very smooth creamy palate. Nice.

Bottle at Pure Bar and Kitchen, Birmingham. Yellow, clear, staid with little obvious carbonation. Aroma more astringent than expected, hiding the usual banana/clove bouquet. Taste is sweet with more of the banana essence of a Hefeweizen. Carbonation more obvious in the palette. Refreshing but unexciting and frankly a little bit sickly.
