two Western Canadian crops, Saskatchewan malted wheat and Saskatchewan malted barley taste like Champagne little sweet with citrus and a bit of hops aroma with some head a good summer beer.

473ml can. Calling this both 'Canadian', and 'Krystall' seems incongrous at best - if it's simply clear, why not denote it as such? Right, old-world cache plays in the sticks, still, it would seem. I am not classifying this as a Kristalweizen - lessons long learned.
This beer pours a crystal clear (natch), bright medium golden yellow colour, with three fat fingers of puffy, tightly foamy, and somewhat bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some low-lying prairie storm front lace around the glass as things quickly dissolve.
It smells of gritty, grainy pale and slightly spicy wheat malt, a meek, but sort of phenolic corn grist astringency, faint red apple and pear skin 'fruity' notes, and a peppy weedy, earthy, grassiness. The taste is more mixed and matched grainy sweetness - malt, wheat stalk, and dried corn husks - a bit of pithy gasohol (maybe there is something to the implied Teutonic nature), browned apple, and a still testy grassy, weedy, and mildly herbal bitterness.
The bubbles are fairly laid-back, and mostly just underwhelmingly frothy, the body medium-light in weight, and actually more or less smooth, that bit of suspected clamminess at least staying steady as it warms. It finishes well off-dry, the same mutt of maltitude presiding.
A straight-up sweet macro-esque excuse for a wheat ale (?), filtered to the nuts or not. The actual wheat, when it gets lost in the mire, never recovers, though it is better than Molson's (yeah, I still have to make that comparison) woeful wheat concoction last year. Goes great, I imagine, when enjoyed with girls named Krystall.
