South German-Style Kristal Weizen

-Color – Straw to amber

-Clarity: Clear with no chill haze present. Because the beer is filtered, no yeast should be present.

-Perceived Malt Aroma & Flavor: Malt sweetness is Very low to medium-low

-Perceived Hop Aroma & Flavor: Not present to very low

-Perceived Bitterness: Very Low

-Body : Medium to full

Additional notes: These beers are made with at least 50 percent malted wheat. They have no yeast flavor and they exhibit a cleaner, drier mouthfeel than counterparts served with yeast. The characteristics are often described as clove-like or nutmeg-like and can be smoky or even vanilla-like. A Banana-like aroma and flavor is often present. Kristal Weizens are very highly carbonated.

-ABV: 4.9%-5.6%

-Glassware: Weizen Glass- (Description courtesy of BeerAdvocate.com) - Nothing beats serving your Weizenbier (wheat beer) in an authentic Bavarian Weizen Glass. These classy glasses, with their thin walls and length, showcase the beer's color and allows for much headspace to contain the fluffy, sexy heads association with the style. Most are 0.5L in size, with slight variations in sizes. Forget the lemon garnish, the citric will kill the head.

Benefits: Specifically produced to take on volume and head, while locking in the banana-like and phenol aromas associated with the style.

Example


Laughing Fox – New Glarus Brewing Co. – New Glarus, WI

ABV 4.5 %

Notes: In playful pursuit of butterflies a Red Fox danced across the brewery hill. His joy so pure it bubbled through our hearts and into this beer. Laughing Fox is a sparkling Kristal Weizen brewed in the Bavarian tradition with 50% Wisconsin wheat in our open top fermenters. Tickle your nose notes of spicy clove and cinnamon abound. Dan’s inspired Weizen interpretation reflects the deep bittersweet color of our Fox’s red coat.

Expect this beer to pour a lively effervescent glass thick with creamy foam and bursting with luscious fruity notes on your pallet. This is easy drinking beer perfect for a friendly Wisconsin evening. Relax, this is God’s Country, here we have the strength to reach for the stars and change the world.
