Weihenstephaner Kristallweißbier

◎ Aussehen

A brilliant golden-yellow hue that catches the light with crystalline clarity—the hallmark of this filtered wheat beer. The head is compact and fine-pored, sitting persistently atop the glass. Fine, lively carbonation courses through the body, creating a visibly brisk and effervescent character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe banana and clove notes typical of wheat beer fermentation, complemented by a delicate citrus undertone that adds brightness. There is no heavy phenolic or spicy character—instead, a clean, fruity presentation that speaks to the beer's top-fermented origin and careful yeast management.

◐ Geschmack

The palate echoes the aromatic promise: soft banana and citrus notes unfold over a light, silky wheat body that never feels heavy or cloying. The finish turns crisp and slightly tart with a whisper of tartness on the tongue, while bitterness remains restrained at just 16 IBU, allowing the delicate fruit esters to dominate.

◑ Abgang

A clean, refreshing departure that lingers with subtle citrus and a pleasant tartness. The aftertaste is dry and mineral-like, inviting another sip without any cloying residue.

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.
