On par with Paulaner, though I didn’t have them side by side. Refreshing and true to style, this is a beer I’ll be having again. caesar (3034), Bunnik/Utrecht, Netherlands

You don't need a lemon wedge. I have a weakness for this style, and this one rocks! Sham (1846), Seattle, Washington, USA

Aromas of yeast and wheat. Some citrus. Banana and clove. Flavors are citrus (orange) and more banana. Peppery spices. Coriander maybe. Malts and wheat are abundant. There is subtle yeast hanging around there. The palate is crisp and refreshing, the body is nice and light and bubbly and it finishes with spice and fruits. warrior (213), Mt. Wolf, Pennsylvania, USA

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.
