Cloudy gold with abundant white head. Aroma of bubblegum, with some slight cloviness. Straightforward flavor of malt and yeast, with hops kept way in the background. Medium body.

July 2006 - I can’t believe I haven’t had this yet. Anyway, being the least expensive of the readily available German hefe’s, I wasn’t expecting this to be all that...and I was pleasantly surprised. Straw color, HUGE head and lacing. Absolutely beautiful. Sweet bubblegum smell with wheaty aspects. The flavor was also a tad sweeter than the "other" hefe’s, more bubblegum, less clove. Mouthfeel was extremely smooth...coulda convinced me my bottle came from a tap. Maybe a little less full in flavor, but if drinkability were a factor, I’d give it a 10. Delicious!

Golden body with white head. Very well rounded beer. Clean finish. Has a nose of wheat more so than anything else. Wouldn’t expect nothing less from Franziskaner. Love it.

Pours a cloudy golden with white head (consistant). Yeasty and fruity aroma. Crisp and refeshing taste which is balanced with a yeastyness and fruity flavors (bananas). Tingly refreshnig texture. Nice hefe weiss.

I’ve had this in bottles, but most recently I had it on draught. Light orange and cloudy in appearance, not too much carbonation. This beer has good sweet and almost spicy flavor to it. Aroma and flavor is wheat, banana, and citrus. The draught version seems more spicy or something and seems to have a less hoppy flavor. This is a great hefe that I always enjoy drinking when I find it on draught. 22 oz draught, $5.75 at the Winking Lizard Tavern (Crosswoods).

Great looking beer that smells really fresh and crisp. Tasted the same, fresh bubblegum flavours all throughout with a nice whack of wheat to finish with on the aftertaste.

This seems to be the easiest German hefeweizen to find in my area and it is one of the better ones. It seems to taste fresher than most. Maybe it is brewed here?

Bottle. Smelled wonderful. Nice yeasty, bread smells. No hint of skunk at all. Nice clean citris taste with little tinge of pepper and bananas on the back side. A very complex hefe, realitve to what i’ve been drinking. I really like this hefe. Im glad I bought a sixer. Topnotch!
