From the label

“Label states 'Frozen Banana Kristalweizen Ale' and 'Malt Beverage with Natural Flavor'. The product name explicitly includes 'Frozen Banana' (fruit descriptor) and 'Kristalweizen' (a wheat beer style). The regulatory descriptor 'Malt Beverage with Natural Flavor' and the fruit-forward name indicate a fruit-adjuncted wheat beer. While 'Kristalweizen' suggests hefeweizen family, the 'Frozen Banana' fruit identity and TTB class 906 (Flavored Specialties) push this toward fruit_beer rather than a pure hefeweizen. The keg collar format (15.5 U.S. gal / 1/2 bbl and 5.16 U.S. gal / 1/6 bbl options) confirms package=keg. ABV 4.7% is printed. Moody Tongue Brewing Company, Chicago, Illinois is the producer with no geographic conflict, supporting producer_relationship=self. No independent seal visible. No hops named. No canned-on date in label art. No romance copy beyond the product name and regulatory statement.”
