12 ounce bottle from Uwajimaya. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a medium white head. A light bready nose with some pepper. A bit of faint skunk, lemon, dough, some yeasty spiciness. OK.

Bottle. Was hoping for a kristal weizen with the translated name. Clear pour at first which turns hazy by the second half of the bottle. Medium gold hue, white head. Aromas are grainy, wheat, vanilla, very light banana esters, mild caramel. A touch of phenolic clove. Flavors are mildly sweet and floral, bready, wheat, grainy. Very light citrus notes. Isoamyl acetate. Lightly floral finish. Very light bodied, fuller carbonation. Nothing noticeably off, but nothing stands out.

Draught at the brewery. Low aroma is grainy and citrus. Light yellow color. Sour edge to the flavor is very strong, with more citrus than banana. Refreshing and crisp, nice-drinking if slightly boring.

Draught at the brewery. Rich malt aroma with good cereals and grassy hops. Big, biscuity malts. Nice balance, with fruits (grapes) and herbs. Too fizzy, though, and slightly non-descript.

Med brown color. Malty with notes of chocolates and cherries, though pretty undistinguished. Full bodied, but doesn’t really go anywhere special. Meh.

Cloudy golden color. Slightly phenolic, clove nose.low carbonation. Very light and refreshing. Good summer beer, but lack much complexity.

Very very carbonated. Light body. Little character either good or bad. Refreshing, but ultimately boring.

Draught at the brewery. Nice deep red-amber color. A fruity, rich, honey-tasting bock. Sweet and malty, with caramel, but with nice balance. Decent, though not mind-blowing.
