Monteith's Kristall Weizen is a captivating Weissbier that transports you to the heart of Germany. This crystal-clear beer pours a vibrant straw hue, crowned by a creamy, lingering white head that sets the stage for an exceptional tasting experience. The aroma is a tantalizing blend of ripe banana esters, citrusy orange peel, and a hint of clove. The subtle presence of wheat adds a doughy, bready undertone, creating a harmonious interplay of scents. The initial sip bursts with a wave of fruity sweetness, dominated by ripe bananas and oranges, while the zestiness of orange peel balances the sweetness, adding a refreshing tang. As the beer warms, subtle hints of clove and nutmeg emerge, providing a pleasant complexity that elevates the overall flavor profile. Kristall Weizen has a light to medium body with a smooth, slightly effervescent texture. The fine carbonation provides a lively sensation that dances on the palate, creating a refreshing and invigorating mouthfeel. The finish is crisp and refreshing, with lingering notes of banana and orange zest, and a touch of warmth from the subtle spice of cloves and nutmeg.
