Schöfferhofer Weizen Kristall

◎ Aussehen

Brilliant clarity defines this filtered Kristallweizen, presenting a bright gold hue that catches the light with crystalline purity. A firm white head forms with the pour and maintains good retention, supported by brisk carbonation that creates a lively bead throughout the glass. The visual contrast between the pale malt base and dense foam cap is characteristic of the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose is restrained compared to its cloudy counterpart, with white bread and honey biscuit forming a gentle cereal grain foundation. Soft banana esters emerge alongside subtle citrus zest, while a delicate clove note from phenolic yeast compounds adds complexity without dominance. The overall impression is clean and inviting rather than assertive.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with a light to medium body and pronounced dryness, the wheat character playing a supporting role beneath the bready, honey-driven malt profile. Banana and clove notes persist on the mid-palate, while a crisp citrus thread runs through the center. Bitterness remains low and well-integrated, allowing the delicate phenolic and ester character to speak without obstruction.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and dry, with the wheat character fading gracefully into a subtle grain dryness. No lingering sweetness or harsh bitterness remains—only a refreshing, mineral-edged aftertaste that invites another sip.

Serviertemperatur 5–8°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.

An der Basis schmal und oben ausladend — konzipiert für den reichlichen Schaum eines Weizenbiers, während der trüb-goldene Körper zur Geltung kommt.
