Kristallweizen

A Kristallweizen is a crystal-clear version of the traditional Hefeweizen, achieved through filtration that removes the yeast and protein haze. Brilliantly golden and sparkling in the glass, it retains the hallmark banana and clove yeast-derived aromas, though often in a slightly more subdued form than its unfiltered counterpart. The flavour is crisp, light, and clean, with a dry, refreshing finish that emphasises drinkability. High carbonation adds a champagne-like effervescence, making it a lively and elegant wheat beer option. Without the haze, the mouthfeel is lighter and smoother, and the presentation is refined—perfect for those who enjoy the flavour of a weizen but prefer a clearer, more polished appearance. Kristallweizen is often served with a slice of lemon in Germany, enhancing its bright and refreshing qualities.
