Appearance:
very clear, you can definitely see through this beer. It looks just like a Pilsner.
Flavor:
Tastes spicy and a little sour. Finish is smooth but loaded with bananas.
Mouthfeel:
This beer is super carbonated. My tongue was still tingling after finishing the beer.
Overall Impression:
This is a spectacular beer. It has all the flavor of a typical Weissbier but it has a much lighter feel. The filtering process leaves this beer crystal clear and very bubbly. This beer is definitely for people who like sour and fruity Weissbiers. I think this is a fantastic summer beer, full of flavor yet very light and crisp.
The Weihenstephaner Kristall Weissbier was a pleasant surprise. Even though the label says this is a Kristall Weissbier, I wasn't expecting it to be literally crystal clear... and still taste like a Weiss. But sure enough, this beer has all the banana and coriander flavor of a regular Weiss but without the cloudy body. So what's the point? Why bother with finding a Kristall Weiss? Well, when it's nearing a hundred degrees outside you might not want to drink a thick wheaty Weiss... The filtered version of the Weiss is much crisper and more bubbly, it feels almost like a light Weiss. Sort of like how Bud Light is light, but with flavor. This beer is well worth seeking out, if you're able to find a couple of them. If you can, pick up a few of these and save them for a warm summer evening. You can thank me later.
Comments
This is by far the best (most
This is by far the best (most delicious) beer I have ever had. I'm not much of a beet drinker and when I do drink beer I typically stick with Yingling. Weihenstephaner Kristall Weissbier has made me re-evaluate my emotions on beer. Tasted great even as it began to warm, unlike all light beers that are usually served.
