Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier

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

Pours from the bottle with a nice white head and cloudy orange in color. The aroma for the beer is more on the banana scent with a clove undertone to it. Very light in flavor with the banana coming through more than spices with no hops. A little light on the mouth wheat feel with a slight watery feel from this bottle. Overall a decent beer but I would imagine it would be much better on tap or fresh. I have had better but this is pretty decent.

Cloudy yellow with dense white head. Phenol, banana aroma. Spicy flavor. Carbonation of this brew enhances the refreshing flavor. Not my top Munich Weiss but I certainly wouldn’t turn it down. On tap at The Shep’

2008 Botte from Falcon Tavern - Pours a murky dark yellow with a small white head, aroma is all spice and grain, first impression was that this was not a weissbier but a belgian strong, spice and particulate wheat, finishes clean, this was awesome, will definitely drink again...

4/24/08 notes: bottle, shared with Bin. Color is light yellow orange. Cloudy with white one finger head. Aroma is of fermented fruits, yeast and spices. The flavors blended in this beer are very well balanced. I tasted yeast, citrus, banana, light spices, and some hop character. I liked the body of this beer as well, it was smooth, medium thickness, and with pearly carbonation. So far, definitely one of my tops for this style.

Bottle 50 cl (from fakta) Pours a hazy, amber body with a large, mostly to fully lasting, white, creamy head. Characteristics: Wheat malt, cloves (nelliker) and hints of banana. Sweet and good.

Mild banana and clove like spice nose. Cloudy gold with no head. Smooth no hop bitter as expected but nocitrus either.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy dark beige color weizen with a huge pure white foamy head with good retention and great lacing. Aroma of banana and cloves is huge and very enjoyable. Taste is also dominated by some banana, cloves and bubble gum notes with a perfect creamy texture of wheat malt. Full body with limited filtration and great carbonation. No date on the bottle but I am guessing that this is somewhat fresh. Probably the best form a style that I enjoy consistently.

Bottle 50cl. Hazy yellow/orange body with a large offwhite head. Lots of wheat and yeast in the nose. Flavour totally dominated by wheat and yeast. One of my favorite Hefeweizen and a true classic.
