Kristallweizen

◎ Appearance

Brilliant crystal clarity defines this Kristallweizen, with a pale straw-gold hue that catches the light. A fine white head forms readily and clings to the glass with delicate lacing as you drink. Vigorous carbonation creates an effervescent, animated visual presence that signals the spritz to come.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent banana and bright citrus esters from the wheat yeast—fresh and clean, never cloying or overripe. Beneath the fruit lies a subtle herbal undertone that prevents the aromatic profile from veering into pure sweetness. The overall impression is buoyant and inviting, with no alcohol warmth intruding at cellar temperature.

◐ Taste

On the palate, the carbonation drives the experience: spritzy and alert from the first sip. Banana and citrus notes dominate the mid-palate with a crisp, clean wheat character, while herbal notes ground the fruit and prevent any cloying sensation. The mouthfeel remains light and refreshing, with gentle yeast complexity supporting the fruit without heaviness.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and brisk, with carbonation carrying the fruit-and-herb balance cleanly off the palate. A light, refreshing aftertaste lingers without stickiness or alcohol burn.
