Pours a beautiful foggy golden yellow with a huge head that fades very slowly. A wonderful yeasty, fruity (banana) aroma I’ve come to expect from good weizens. Very malty, fruity taste with spicy finish with lingering banana taste. An excellent weissbier; the Dunkel is good to!

Pours a hazy blonde color with a thick white head. Aroma of bubblegum, banana and a bit floral. Taste is moderately sweet, quite watery but refreshing. No finish at all, taste is just gone after gulping down.

Orange pour with a white head. Sweet and fruity. Solid without the cheap adjunct taste. Very good.

Draft on tap at the Bavarian Lodge (Lisle, IL). Pours a nice murky yellow gold, with a moderate whitish head that dies to a decent layer, laces ok, soapy. Aromas are flaked white wheat, banana fruit esters, a light touch of lemon, and a soothing sweetness. Initial is fruity banana, a light bitterness, flaked white wheat sweetness with the typical bitterness on the backend. Cereal malts, a touch of lemon, and a nice overall drinkability, despite the cliche of that term. Banana esters come ona bit stronger into the body. Pretty solid German Hefe. Finish leaves subtle sweetness, fruity banana, and a light bitterness. Good.

I can understand why this is popular. Having my last one tonight with pulled pork and it fully stands up to that and balances out the vinegar bite. Yellow green with champagne type bubbles and really active carbonation. Smells like unripened banana, aloe and light spices. Flavor and mouthfeel are so spot on for the warmer months with plaintain and a wheaty breadiness dominating here. Don’t let this one warm up to much. Great brew. Thanks Franziskaner. 2009 12oz.

Color yellow-gold with tall, beautiful and persistent head. The aroma is refreshing and pleasant. Light body. The taste is primarily of fruit (banana). The end is bitterish and wheat puts its acidity.

About average for a hef. Dry, light hoppy taste and not too smooth. Not much flavor beyond that. Somewhat disappointing for a beer, but middle of the road for a hef.
