Alpirsbacher Weizen Kristall

◎ Appearance

Light yellow and brilliantly clear, with excellent transparency characteristic of the Kristallweizen style. The head is voluminous and creamy, clinging to the glass with fine lacing. Fine carbonation creates a sustained sparkle throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose is distinctly fruity, with prominent notes of honeydew melon and banana arising from the wheat and yeast character. Dried currant notes add a subtle dried-fruit complexity, while a light phenolic edge rounds out the bouquet without overwhelming the delicate balance.

◐ Taste

Entry is fresh and elegantly prickling on the palate, with the fine carbonation lending a crisp mouthfeel. The body remains delicate and well-balanced, with a gentle acidity that enhances the fruity profile. Bitterness is fleeting and subtle, allowing the malt character and yeast-derived fruitiness to dominate the mid-palate.

◑ Finish

The finish is malt-led and fruity, with the wheat grain character becoming more prominent as the ephemeral bitterness fades. The aftertaste remains clean and refreshing, leaving no harsh edges or lingering astringency.

Serve at 5–8°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.
