Maisel's Weisse Kristall
Maisel's Kristall is the filtered sibling — crystal-clear instead of naturally cloudy — and that clarity lets you taste the precision. Bright citrus and mineral notes jump ahead of the wheat; it's crisper and lighter than its Hefeweizen cousin, almost delicate. From Bayreuth, a city that knows wheat beer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for 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.
