Update - had this on draft at the Reading Oktoberfest this past weekend, don't know what I was thinking the first time around when I tasted this, but this beer was much better now, maybe my taste buds for German wheat beers have been enhanced, this had a nice cloudy murky golden appearance, huge bubbly soft white lacy head, lots of spiciness, lots of banana flavors & coriander, very very smooth & drinkable, excellent wheat beer

Bottle from Asda. Pours cloudy orange with a fine, fluffy white head. Aroma is spicy, banana-like, wheaty, a touch fruity and a little dusty almost like it has a little damage from light. Flavour is sweet, wheaty and spicy with underlying biscuit character and notes of fruit (banana), bubble gum, alcohol, cereal, bread and a little soap. There is more banana in the aroma than in the taste. Very pleasent and well crafted hefe, excellent.

When fresh this beer is divine. Clean tasting wheat beer with great sized head. Awesome aroma.

Deep orange color. Cloudy. Looks so delicious. Citric nose. Tastes very well-balanced. Yeasty, citric, fruity. Goes down very smooth. I think it´s the best of the very easily avaible Weizens. Rerate: After drinking hundreds of bottles of this beer I´ve probably got to rate it higher, and it never ceased to amaze me, so a couple more points are justified.

Smokey and clove spice aromas come through with banana mixed in. Beer poured with a huge tall white head that lasts for some time, as it should. Yellow color and cloudy from the yeast that was swirled before pouring in the glass. Good clove spiceyness with with yeast flavor and a nice medium banana sweetness mixed in. Beer has a good finish that leaves me wanting more. A good classic german style wheat as I expect from a franziskaner.

Cold 16.9oz bottle: Pours a cloudy yellowish orange with small ivory head. Some chunks which settled to to the bottom of the class. Aroma is of sharp yeast with notes of banana and citrus. Taste is mainly of yeast, sweet malt and lemony ending.
