What is a Hefeweizen?

How to get the most out of Maisel's Weisse Kristall
Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.
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.
Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.

◎ Appearance
Crystal-clear pale gold with brilliant clarity and a fine white head that dissipates quickly. Exceptionally bright and sparkling with active carbonation creating a visually refreshing presentation. This filtered Kristall variant showcases perfect transparency typical of the style.
◌ Aroma
Delicate wheat and yeast esters dominate the nose with prominent banana and clove notes creating a classic Weissbier character. Fine citrus aromatics add freshness and brightness, while the overall profile remains clean and refined without the haze-associated complexity of unfiltered versions.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with crisp wheat maltiness and bright yeasty notes, followed by subtle banana and spice complexity in the mid-palate. Light body with refreshing effervescence carries the flavors gracefully, while low bitterness (12 IBU) allows the delicate wheat and phenolic spice to shine through cleanly.
◑ Finish
Clean and dry finish with the carbonation providing a refreshing snap that clears the palate efficiently. Subtle banana and clove notes fade quickly, leaving no harsh aftertaste—ideal for sessionability.
