Although my preference leans to darker beers, I love hefeweiss brews. Franziskaner is the measure for this category by which I judge all other hefes. Aroma - wow! the wheat seems to be springing off the head right into your nose. Appearance - wonderful hazy yellow. Flavor - great wheaty taste - slightly lacking in citrus - however I tend to prefer this - you can add your own with a lemon if needed. Simply another great brew from the historical Spaten Brauerei. Cheers!

Boasting a magnificent aroma, this beer is a little light in taste. Probably the least cloudy hefe weissen I’ve had, its taste is muted compared to Paulaner or Weihenstaphaner. However, if I was introducing someone to this style of beer, this would probably be my choice, because it has a nice, even flavor and smooth feel.

Poura a nice cloudy orange with a big lasting head. Aroma is very creamy and yeasty. Flavor is like a nice fresh batch of banana’s. I also get lots of yeast and a very bitter flavor like lemon. Very smooth and drinkable and probably one of my favorite hefe’s.

Mmmm, good stuff for those that like Hefe. A middle of the road industry standard, by which all others should be measured. Very nice spicy fruity nose and flavor. HOLD THE DAMN LEMON, PLEASE!

a fine beer to break in my newly eBought weizen glass. a beautiful looking beer. dense white head that diminishes but stays around for the ride... lemon, wheat aroma. soft on the palate. malty, sweet, citrus. one of the finest hefe weizens i’ve had.

Cloudy gold with a pillowy white head. I thought I hit a fluke with the weihenstephaner hefe as a great german hefe, but this one is just as good. Really silky in texture. Flavor is deliciously refreshing. Good citrus and bubblegum. Extremely well balanced. RERATE, i think this is second to weihenstephaner for hefes out of the bottle. tons of delightlful esters.
