Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier

Brewed by Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu (InBev)
Style: German Hefeweizen
Munich, Germany

Splendid weissbier, a rival to Weihenstephaner. This boasts a gorgeous appearance, smashing flavor, and an outrageous head (yet without being overcarbonated on the tongue, like their Dunkel). Wonderful.

Ganz gut! Das bier ist wunderbar. Those wacky Franciscans have done it again. Very palatable and not too ’wheaty’.

Never disappointed

Very good wheat beer. Not too heavy not too light just right baby

My personal favorite Hefe.

Very smooth weisse that reminds me of the Sprecher Hefe-weiss with a less pronounced aftertaste.

A really soild hefeweizen. Pours a really beautiful orange golden haze. Head is really thick, has nice flowerly hints of clove, banana, and citrus flavor. A great springtime brew.

First rating was 7-2-5-2-7, or 2.3 overall. Second rating: from 16.9 oz. bottle, beer pours (in Franziskaner glass) a very cloudy lemon-golden color with a small amount of white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is of banana, lemon (no lemon put in it), spicy. Flavor is wheaty, banana, lemon, smooth, with no hoppiness. Sampled alongside Weihenstephaner Hefe-Weissbier, and Franziskaner is easily better. Sampled nicely chilled.
