Awesome banana and clove aroma.
Slightly acidic with wheat and malt characteristics. Flavor was mainly the banana and clove. Very distinctive and perfect for the style. Some citrus and peach notes as well. Very tasty! LinusStick (1851), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

One of the best German hefes out there. Love this style now and this is always a go-to hefe. Nice thick aroma of banana and wheat. Pour is a nice cloudy gold with a pillowy 2 finger white head. Taste was an almost thick mix of banana, clove and some yeast with a tartness coming in and out. After a few sips, a breadlike taste forms on the back of the throat. Great hefe.

Not a great beer but my first rated hefeweizen. Better than I remember them being. Banana and yeasty aroma. Pour was a cloudy golden color with a one finger white head. Taste was all (blah) banana with a bit of yeast and bread. Considering I’m not a fan of wheat beer and I hate bananas I should hate this. Sham (1846), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 27, 2003 Pours a nice cloudy gold, with foamy head and lace. Aroma entices you with citrus and wheat, perhaps some yeast. Very smooth flavors consisting of more citrus, some yeasts and malt, slightly sweet. Almost a bit doughy. A very nice German hef. thegreenrooster (1846), St.louis, Missouri, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 14, 2005 Pour is a hazy yellow with a huge white head. Aroma is my is hard to detect but you do get some spices and cloves. Flavor is a bit weak in mine. In fact i have to really almost try to detect what was used. I get some banana and vanilla but again its very weak. Maybe an old bottle since i bought this at a place you would not go to get good craft beer. Franziskaner is still the best.
