500 ml bottle from Bevmo. Copper brown with a fizzy white head. Sweet wheat bread aroma. Slightly sweet banana bread taste, refreshing.

I poured this into my 50cl glass to reveal a brown-dark red ale that had a good head o top and a wavy skirt of bubbles below. The first taste had a roundness to it that just rolled off my tongue and the caramel elements were up front. This was pretty good and on tap should be better.

Poured a cloudy brown with a large head. Detected a spicy sweet aroma like the scents you would smell during Christmas. Flavor is yeasty with an aftertaste of gingerbread. As it warmed it developed a bananas and brown sugar flavor. Totally awesome! Overall, this beer is great but better consumed during fall/winter seasons.

.5 L. Dunkelweizen... ok the wheat is there it looks like a wheat beer should in the glass yet the semi sweet body somehow misses the mark. It is not thin but lacks the Umph that expected from Franzisakaner. The head rolls with gusto and gets into place fast but fails to enthrall my nose.

Bottled 50cl. It pours a hazy orange brown beer with a rather big and nicely lasting slightly tanned head. The ABV of my version was 5.0 if I’m not mistaken. The aroma is of yeast, cane sugar, syrup and malt. Some bubble gum and mint. The taste is very smooth, highly spicy, quite wheaty and corny with a decent amount of lemon. Caramel. Some cinnamon and nuts in the finish. Slightly sour.

Hazy brown with thin white head. Aroma is spicy and sweet with a bit of ginger and bready yeast. Taste is same, but somewhat thinner than I expected. Cut back on the H2O, and this would be a fine product. $3/16oz

Bottiglia da 50cl comprata all’Iper di Serrapalle Scrivia; versa birra maron con usuale schiuma abbondante di colore beige chiaro. Aroma simile a quello della hefe normale, lievito e banana anche nel sapore, mentre gli aromi scuri cioccolatosi e tostati sono troppo in secondo piano. Molto piacevole ma meriterebbe un po’ di coraggio in più.
