This is a lovely hefeweiss. Just great in every respect. Nice citrusy nose, beautiful fruity taste, with banana and a lot of sourness, very very refreshing...

This is one of my favorite Hefeweissbeer. The monks just know how to brew good beer! Traditional good old German beer. Cheers

I’ve never wanted nothin’ more than Franziskaner. So drinkable you could have a whole boot of it; so flavorful it’s like they cram a bunch of bananas into every bottle. The flavors are concentrated, not overwhelming. This beer has got it goin’ on like Donkey Kong.

Small head, banana and hints of orange in aroma. Very cloudy and dusty gold appearance. Smooth banana and sweet taste, followed by tart and lemon zest. Extremely smooth finish.

This is definitely now one of my favourite hefe-weizens. It is hazy light amber with a very big off-white head that slowly shrinks. The aroma is at first grain and herbal hops rather more like a German pilsner-which is good to me-but thenthe classic German hefeweizen qualities take over, with banana, bubblegum, marshmallow, wheat, yet always with a grainy-hoppy, alcoholic lager quality mixed in, as well as an odd musty quality which slightly detracts. In taste, it is great, with lots of fruit, some bubblegum, good sweet-bitter presence and balance, a long, slightly alcoholic grain-banana finish. It’s not to soft, a complaint I ote have with wheat beers of various types. In the end, this is a great hefeweizen for me, combining the typical Geramn qualities for the style but more muted than usual with a non-wheat beer quality.

Love this beer! Poured a deep gold with a cloudy appearance. This one went down very easily and had a nice banana flavored finish.

Pours a cloudy pale orange with a sparse white head. Aroma is full and fruity,mostly citrus notes. Taste is crisp and very citrusy. Very smooth on the palate, nice carbonation level. Finishes light and smooth. Overall, fantastic.
