Franziskaner Kristall-Weisse

◎ Aussehen

Kristall-Weisse displays a bright, pale golden hue with excellent clarity—a hallmark of its 'kristall' designation. A dense, white foam head forms readily and maintains impressive retention, while vigorous carbonation creates a visually appealing effervescence throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by distinctive banana ester and spicy clove character typical of Bavarian weizen yeast fermentation. Subtle bread and wheat maltiness provides an underlying foundation, creating a clean, inviting aromatic profile without aggressive hop presence.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with soft wheat maltiness and pronounced yeasty banana-clove notes that develop seamlessly across the mid-palate. Light-bodied and crisp, the beer maintains exceptional drinkability with minimal bitterness (12 IBU), allowing the phenolic and ester profiles to shine throughout.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and dry with excellent clarity, avoiding any cloying residue. Subtle spice notes linger briefly before fading gracefully, leaving an impression of refreshment and approachability.

Etwas wärmer als ein Lagerbier — 8–12°C lässt die Bananen- und Nelkenaromen der Hefe voll zur Geltung kommen.

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