Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier

Aroma: citrus, yeasty, bread, orange, banana, cream and butter Appearance: frothy white foam 2 finger head with excellent lacing; golden, cloudy orange throughout Flavor: medium sweetness Palate:light body, thin feel, average carbonation, pronounced yeast finish Overall, this is a solid, refreshing beer that I would I be happy drinking on most any occasion. Had it several times, and it must be poured correctly with full head for proper enjoyment or the experience is severely hindered.

This one pours a pale, opaque wheat/golden color with a shallow head and nice sticky yet fast lacing. Smells of wheat, grains and a lightly fruity pastures with slight hay notes. The taste is light but full. Flavors of wheat with a light bitterness and light barn-like notes on the finish. Has a fair amount of carbonation and the flavor finishes pretty quickly. A very nice brew overall.

12 oz bottle. Very nice, but also rather standard aroma in this wheat beer, bananas, orange/lemon zest, and lots of yeast. Poured with a decent white fluff head, no real staying power or lacing, very cloudy orange juice color. An enjoyable taste overall, lot of good fruit flavors, banana, orange, and a more prominent lemon than expected, but as expected a good amount of wheat dough and yeast, very citrusy finish and linger, in the feel though, there is just a little too much carbonation to me. Not alot to complain about, definitely an upper-end hefe.

Nice thick head. Great banana/gumball flavor - yet not so sweet that you wouldn’t not have 3-4 in one sitting. One of my favorites. Can’t imagine anyone not enjoying this beer.

middle orange hhazy color white head smell of cklpve and banana tasts of clove and banana aftertaste bittersweet

Wow, I actually found an import that doesn’t taste like an import! Very smooth wheat beer. Great malt flavor that dominated.

Draft. Really a great hazy yellow-orange in color. Nice, tight head. Some lacing. Dense-looking. Aromas are banana and very light spice -- heavier on the yeast. Creamy on the palate. Lots of yeast again, with a fine complement of banana and apricot. Slightly thin on the finish.

Bottle at Frankfurt Airport (the only good thing about my flight interruption). Hazy blonde. Wheat, banana nose. Bitter and wheaty, slightly yeasty sherbert. Mouth is banana milkshake, some bitterness. Pretty watery end. Quenching and refreshing.
