Kristallweizen

Tap to rate

Kristallweizen is the filtered counterpart to the brewery's Hefeweizen, made from wheat, Pilsner and Munich malt with Hallertauer Perle hops. With the yeast removed it pours a pale straw yellow and fully clear beneath a fine white head. The nose carries fresh fruit notes, a lighter echo of the banana and citrus of the cloudy version. On the palate it is lively and light-bodied, with subtle fruit over a clean wheat base and a crisp, sparkling finish. Original gravity is 12.3 to 12.6 °P.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with restrained fresh fruit character—subtle banana and citrus notes emerge, noticeably lighter than the cloudy Hefeweizen counterpart. Beneath these sits a clean, grainy wheat foundation with a whisper of noble hop spice from the Hallertauer Perle. The overall impression is bright and refreshing without demanding attention.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and light-bodied with immediate carbonation presence. The mid-palate develops a clean wheat base supporting delicate fruit notes that echo the aroma without overwhelming the profile. Bitterness remains low and restrained, allowing the malt character to lead. The finish arrives sharp and sparkling, with a mineral-like dryness that cleanses the palate.

◑ Finish

The finish is quick and refreshing, driven by carbonation and a dry, mineral quality. No lingering sweetness—the aftertaste fades cleanly into a grainy, slightly peppery memory.

Weizen glass

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.
