Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier

Brewed by Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu (InBev)
Style: German Hefeweizen
Munich, Germany

Pale yellow color, smell is wheat and some lemon, spice. Taste is very wheaty

Pours a hazy golden brown with a big white head. Aroma is yeasty with banana bread like notes. The taste is a spicey, yeasty, clovey banana hefe flavor. A very good example of a hefe, and usually decently priced, although it just went up above 12.$ a twelve pack, before that it was about the best buy around along with other Spaten brews.

50cl bottle, hazy pale yellow colour, persistent white head, wheat and banana aroma, sweet flavor, dry finish with banana and light hops presence

First, THE HEAD--the stuff of legend--almost celestial with flecks of light dotting pillowy clouds stacked three fingers thick... the body is a blend of light yellow to dark orange--imposingly attractive... clove and vanilla mesh with banana in a beautiful bouquet, the scent strong but not overpowering... soft, almost watery(!) presence through the mouth; without the taste factor, a medium-bodied consistency that leaves a remainder to be savored... clove, banana, vanilla and a slight acidity that tickles the throat adding a bit of feistyness to an otherwise steady wheat backbone... I recall the first sips I ever had of Franziskaner and the following disbelief that a beer could taste this clean and refreshing, yet challenge the taste buds beyond the well-filtered American premium pilsner... ten years later, still a revelation for this beer drinker....

Always been a fan of Franzi. Not quite as fulfilling as the Weihenstaphaner or Julius Ector, for example, but still very tasty and quite drinkable. I have noticed that the half liters are more yeasty (and flavorful) than the green 12ozers. Worth trying fordefiniture.

Nice golden color,BIG white head,smell wheat and flowers,Taste is smooth and refreshing.Some lacing on glass.Excellent weizen

Pours a light gold in color with a huge four inch pillowy head. Took a few minutes to complete the pour. Smell is beautiful wheat and some lemon, spice. Taste is very wheaty, almost seems like there’s a little tobacco or smoke flavor as well. Very crisp and refreshing. I like.

Bottle:Pale golden, huge beige fluffy head; distinctive lemony-fruity nose with a wheaty touch; light to moderate sweetish-sourish flavour, light bodied, soft MF; sweetish-sourish finish with a light tartness in the aftertaste. Pleasant, but a bit overrated.....
