This dish is made with the lower part of the pig’s front or rear leg. The official translation is “Stewed Pork Hock.” But this translation doesn’t tell the lovely appearance of the dish. The literal meaning is
Crystal Pork Hock.
crystal in English is used for something hard and glasslike. it doesn't work as a descriptive word for food.

Isn't it called that because it is brewed with crystal malt, which is unusual in a lager? In which case it's not a description of appearance?
@contrex,
Quote: Crystal malt
A paler example of Crystal maltCrystal malts are prepared separately from pale malts. They are high-nitrogen malts that are wetted and roasted in a rotating drum before kilning. They produce strongly sweet toffee-like flavors and are sufficiently converted that they can be steeped without mashing to extract their flavor. Crystal malts are available in a range of colors, with darker-colored crystal malts; that is, those kilned at higher temperatures, producing stronger, more caramel-like overtones.
may refer to flavour , colour or both .
