Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

330ml bottle <br> 5.0% ABV <br> I tried this beer on June 5, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a hazy golden orange colour with a thick white head which lasted a few minutes. The aroma was wheat, some cloves, and a little bit of hops. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and highly carbonated. The flavour was sweet wheat with some clove, banana, and coriander.

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

500ml bottle&#60;br&#62; 5.30&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Best Before: June 30, 2020&#60;br&#62; Gift&#60;br&#62; December 29, 2019&#60;br&#62; Gift&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a translucent amber-tinged gold with a thin creamy off-white head that lasts. The aroma is wheat, light caramel, floral hops, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour matches the aroma and is a typical German wheat beer flavour. It starts off with the wheat, followed by some light sweet fruity caramel notes, followed by a little citrusy bitterness, leading to a mild hoppy finish. A very well brewed Kristal hefeweizen
