Hirsch Kristall Weisse

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with brilliant clarity—the filtered approach delivers a glass-bright presentation rarely seen in the Weizen family. A dense, fine-bubbled white head rises generously and clings to the glass with persistent lacing. The carbonation catches light throughout the body, creating an almost luminous quality.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe banana and subtle clove—signatures of the Weizen yeast strain—layered over a soft wheat grain sweetness. A whisper of mineral character and clean malt backdrop keeps the profile fresh rather than fruity-heavy. The sparkling carbonation lifts these aromatics without any yeasty cloudiness typical of unfiltered versions.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and wheat-forward with immediate banana and bubblegum notes balancing a gentle clove spice. Mid-palate stays smooth and refreshing, with low bitterness (14 IBU) allowing the grain's natural sweetness and yeast character to remain in focus. A light, crisp minerality threads through without drying the finish.

◑ Finish

Clean and moderately dry, with the clove-yeast warmth lingering gently into the aftertaste. The carbonation sustains a refreshing, almost brisk exit that invites another sip without fatigue.
