Bottle. Strong malt and banana aromas. Cloudy medium brown color with ample, expanding head. Watery light malt flavor - a bit sour but only a hint of fruit and no spiciness. Low carbonation. Okay but uninspiring.

Bottle - Wheat malt aroma with apple/slight banana undertones. Clear yelllow-tan color with lots of bubbles and moderate head. Watery malt flavor - very little fruitiness or spiciness to this but that’s to be expected with a Kristall - summer thirst-quencher but not much else.

Bottle. The merest hint of malt aroma. Tan clear color with small head. Initial barley taste with balance malt and hops. Fairly weak for the style.

Canned. Clear golden, brief head. Sweet and sugary with clean, hard mouthfeel. Raw, cloying and lousy.

A very fruity aroma - orange, peach, banana. Light tan color but not as cloudy as most Hefes. Taste is much subtler mostly of orange and banana without much spiciness. Bought this in a plastic bottle - possibly the best Weizen you can buy in a plastic bottle.

Nice grain hops aroma with a good head. Excellent hops flavor with a bitter aftertaste. Not bad for a beer in a plastic bottle.

Re-rate from bottle. lets see if it improved in the last 12 years: Light herbal and metallic hops in a slightly papery caramel roast. Still nice amber color, very unstable head. Thin tinny roast start, light roast caramel, quick finish, light sticky aftertaste. Still no epiphany, but had worse. Old Rating 4 4 6 3 11 Neutral nose, some roasted notes and soapy dusty hops. Rusty amber coloring, big creamy white head with lace, not very stable though. Caramel malt base, some roasted nutty notes, not unpleasant - the balance to he hops is not entirely harmonic though. Medium body, fizzing mouthfeel, ok bitterhop exit. In general better than I expected, at least its not an instant drainpour like so many other Oettinger brews.
