This one pours out a deep, dark yellow, almost but not quite amber, and develops a very spritzy and loose white head that doesn't last particularly long. To be honest, I'm a little surprised based on certain reviews. Not much spotty lacing is left on the glass, but enough to keep an average appearance as I see it.
Expecting an APWA, I was a little surprised to smell the banana and clove typical of particular German lagers. It's a very nice aroma, at once light and yet with a certain strength. Wheat and a touch of lemon make for a well-rounded, balanced, and fairly complex beer.
The flavor follows suit with a bit of lemony fresh tartness coming out more strongly along with a green apple taste. The malts are a bit bready as well.
This beer is light and crisp and quite dry, though not entirely. It seems like it needs to crispness in order to have any smoothness to it. It's not thin, per se, but verges on it.

A - Hazy golden-amber coloration; nice bubbly white head that retains and laces along the glass nicely.

S - Green apple, lemon rind, coriander, and pepper, some yeastiness to it.

T - Beer immediately hits with a sourness and finishes with a tartness. Very nice, balanced flavor evolution through the sip. Flavors include green apple, papaya, tangerine, sage, coriander, wheat, pepper.

M - Light to medium-bodied. Less carbonation than you might expect (could use a bit more in my opinion - not that I care for carbonation). Sourness/tartness lingers after each sip but clears thereafter if you're sipping it.

D - Quite an interesting beer. I really enjoy this. I will definitely be getting this again. Another impressive offering from Sixpoint.

On tap at Kickbacks in Jax. Poured into a snifter. Fluffy, large white head, high retention. Slightly hazy, golden body, with soapy, sticky lacing. Aroma includes banana, bubble gum and banana taffy. Taste includes similar flavors. Certainly slightly different than a hefe, more hazy than expected for a kristal but overall quite tasty and I would think easy to drink for amateurs and beer geeks alike.

Serving type: on-tap
