Erdinger Kristall
The filtered version of Erdinger Weißbier, Kristall pours brilliantly clear and golden with a fine white head and delicate bubbles. The brewery calls it the liveliest of its wheat beers, thanks to an extra measure of natural carbonation from fermentation. The aroma is lightly fruity with hints of tropical fruit, a floral touch and a fresh hop note; the palate balances rounded malt against fruit, with a crisp, prickling finish. Until the early 1960s, most Bavarian Weissbiers were clear like this one. Original gravity 12.5 °P.
