1 pint 9oz. bottle
Pours with a great big head even with a slow pour. It dissipates but does not dissappear entirely. The color is a weak gold. Easy to see through. The scent is a pungent grass and wheat.
The wheat is highly detectable in the flavor. Some fruit, honey and a clove taste at the end. It does leave an unpleasant aftertaste unfortunately.
It has a slight watery feel and the drinkability has a bit too much carbonation. This makes it a little bit hard to swallow.
An enjoyable beer but not a first rater in my opinion.

enjoyed at bolero restaurant and bar schwerin, didn’t know this beer existed, haven’t had a kristallweizen is ages i feel, it’s a nice wheat beer certainly inferior to the normal hefe, subdued estery fruity flavours mixed with a nice white bready malt, light to medium bitterness, crisp enough finish pretty drinkable, decent

Cerveza dorada casi transparente con dos dedos de espuma de poca retención. Cuerpo ligero y carbonatación media. Aroma especiado y un poco cítrico. Sabor ligeramente dulce con un poco de herbáceo pero algo plano.
Claramente inferior a la de trigo tradicional y a la dunkel.

L: Crystal clear golden color, massive six finger white head, loads of carbonation.
S: Wheat, malts, hops. I don't like the smell.
T: Tastes kind of like a weissbier with the banana notes and such but not really. It's very decent though.
F: Medium bodied, extremely drinkable and refreshing.
O: Decent offering. Would gladly drink it again, especially on a hot summer day.
