Kristallweizen
Kristallweizen is a filtered version of Hefeweizen, resulting in a crystal-clear wheat beer that maintains the distinctive wheat character but without the signature yeast haze. Originating in Bavaria, Germany, it features the same banana and clove notes as its unfiltered counterpart, though often with slightly reduced yeast flavors due to the filtration process. Traditional ingredients include at least 50% malted wheat, malted barley, German noble hops, specialized Weizen yeast, and water.
