An excellent Hefe. (Mine was the tap version). I have now had it in bottles and cans. Still great!

Excellent Hefe. I bought the large bottle, and ended up wishing it was larger still. 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.

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

Magnificent head, sweet and spicy (allspice?) with a citrusy finish. You don't need a lemon wedge. I have a weakness for this style, and this one rocks!

Nice cloudy gold. Large bubbly white head. Sparse lacing. 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.

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.
