Gold Ochsen Kristallweizen

Germany·Kristallweizen
Tap to rate

Light lemon and a hint of melon in the nose, then a start of wheat malt, a lively sparkle and a fresh, fruity palate; the finish keeps rounded floral tones with a discreet hop note. This Kristallweizen (5.4% ABV) is mashed with finely ground malt, fermented to a high degree and cold-filtered, which gives it its crystal-clear, golden wheat colour.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Gold Ochsen Kristallweizen

◎ Appearance

A bright, crystalline golden hue with exceptional clarity—the result of fine malt milling, high fermentation attenuation, and cold filtration. The head is fine and persistent, with delicate lacing that clings to the glass. Lively carbonation creates a continuous stream of small bubbles through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with fresh lemon and a subtle melon note, followed by soft wheat malt undertones. Faint floral characteristics emerge in the background, with no aggressive hop presence—instead, a clean, cereal-like quality dominates. The overall impression is light and inviting, with no phenolic or solvent notes.

◐ Taste

The palate begins with a wave of wheat malt sweetness before turning crisp and refreshing mid-mouth. Citrus and fruity notes provide brightness, while the low bitterness (14 IBU) remains in the background as a gentle frame. The mouthfeel is clean and lightly carbonated, with subtle bready undertones that support without weighing down.
