Paulaner Weißbier Kristallklar

Germany·Kristallweizen
Tap to rate

The filtered member of the house wheat family, stripped of its yeast and standing crystal clear and glossy gold in the glass with a fine-pored, creamy, lasting head. Pear and apple rise from the glass as soon as it is lifted. The malt character is intensive, drawing on pale and dark wheat malt alongside pilsner and Munich malt, and the taste is pleasantly sweet, fruity and fresh with banana and citrus behind it. Clarity makes it brisk and lively. Brewed at 11.7 degrees Plato.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a pleasantly sweet, fruity experience with balanced complexity from the malt bill of pale and dark wheat malts paired with pilsner and Munich malt. Citrus notes and banana flavors dance across the mid-palate, while the low bitterness (14 IBU) allows the malt sweetness and fruit character to shine without assertiveness. The brisk, lively carbonation keeps the beer crisp and prevents any cloying sensation.
