Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier

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

Overall, a good representation of German style wheat beers. Bubblegum and banana notes mixed with a bit of citrus. Better than the Kristall, but not as good as Weihenstephan.

Bottle from Whole Foods Arlington. I like the dunkel better, but this wasn’t too bad.

Bottle. Pours an odd, hazy gold. Gorgeous, fat white head. Aroma of clean wheat, spice, clove, and a hint of yeast. Medium body with a sturdy finish. Slightly bitter aftertaste.

One of the best hefeweizen beers out there. The banana and clove flavors are much more bold and stand out more than a typical hefeweizen.

It’s a "trüb" beer with an average head. Nicely carbonated. The wheat flavor is very much like "banana". Finishes smooth and wheathy. This one is ok but why does it cost more than other beers of the same "Hefe-Weissbier"-kind? Maybe a little too refined...

Cloudy golden yellow color with a thick creamy head. Great refreshing wheat flavor with a little fruitiness and a pleasant yeast aroma.

Have had from the bottle and on tap, tap being better. Typical profile and flavor with banana and clove, but well executed.
