Nov 29, 2008 Pours quite dark brown with full opacity. A full creamy tan head emerges and although it fades quickly, a film of foam persists throughout consumption. Lace is heavy upon a drink, then falls quickly. A fairly light scent gives off a fresh banana tone. The taste is pleasant and not very overpowering, and body is medium light. Flavor indeed quite similar to the scent, with a nice banana taste and some fresh sourdough bread connotations. Finish is light and sour.

Nov 20, 2008 Pours a hazy dark amber with a perfect, fluffy off-white head that sticks around. Aroma of dark fruits, yeast, and cloves. Taste is strange. Begins like normal Franziskaner with some higher than average bubbliness and banana notes but then turns a light sour with a somewhat watery, bland aftertaste. No lacing. Strange that this is the dark version of Franziskaner but is more watery and muted than the normal hefeweisen.

Nov 17, 2008 Bottle. Poured deep teak with thick white head. Citrusy aroma with a bit of fresh baked bread. Full flavour, like very good freshly baked bread, with a fine hop bite. Lekker balanced finish.

Oct 27, 2008 The color is a medium red/brown, with a strong hop smell, the smell of the grains/wheat really come through as well. The hop flavor was too strong for my personal taste, and it was a little too carbonated.

Oct 21, 2008 The aroma is strongly wheat, banana, spicy cloves. Its appearance is a nice dark brown, hazy, large off-white head. Wheaty, spicy flavor, with notes of bitter chocolate. The carbonation, and a slight hoppiness dominate the palate. Ok for the style.
