Oct 30, 2009 Bottle. Hazy golden pour with a foamy white head. Aroma of banana and clove. Sweet, ripe banana flavor. A very standard hefeweizen in many respects but this is a common beer that is really good. No big wow factor just a solid beer.

Oct 27, 2009 Bottle. Hazy golden beer with a foamy head. Aroma has (not a suprise) yeast and banana. Quite sweet flavor is pretty much the same. Medium body, very well balanced beer.

Oct 25, 2009 Golden hazy pour, with a very slight hint of the typical hefe on the nose. Taste of course has the banana and clove but certainly not as pronounced as other hefes that I’ve had. Has a bit of a bitter note at the end. Not bad at all but nothing transcendent.

Oct 25, 2009 50cl brown bottle, as shown. Pours a hazy, pale yellow golden with a big, fluffy white head that collapses quickly.
Aroma of banana, citrus and herbal spices. Active carbonation, medium-bodied weizen. Good mouthfeel.
Taste is dominated by sweet banana, very typical for a Bavarian hefe. A healthy citrus note prevents this brew from being cloying. Spicy, dry finish and herbal after taste.
One of the signature mainstream hefe beers from "down under": very well balanced, at once, supremely quaffable and quite characterful. If this kind of weizen is too banana-ish for you, try the Belgian variety like "Hoegaarden" - their beers are usually drier and more citrusy. Otherwise, Franziskaner is one of the best!

Oct 23, 2009 Just an excellent hefe. If hefe or wheat beers are one of your favorites, this is a must try. Typical cloudy golden pour (from bottle). Fruity, bananaish taste. Smooth finish.

Oct 22, 2009 Pours a cloudy golden color with a medium sized white head with nice carbonation. Nose is citrus and spices. Mouthfeel is very creamy and medium bodied. Taste is wheat, citrus and spice. No bitterness, lightly hopped. A fine weissbier that pairs well with cheese, fruit, poultry or fish.

Oct 22, 2009 On tap; great great. Aroma of banana and spice. Great medium bodied taste with the same strong banana and spice notes. One of my favorite wheat beers. Not as good in bottle; would rate in bottle lower

Oct 21, 2009 Updated: Nov 8, 2009bottle - Typical Weizen - can detect a bit more spice in the nose than some others in its category - high accessibility also a plus.
