3.41/5  rDev -7.6%
look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: pale yellow, lots of effervescense, huge pillow of white froth, good head retention, lace

Aroma: mellow scent of clove-dusted bananas, wheat, and a distant leafy hop aroma

Flavor: wheaty and mildly sweet; hint of honey and clove; finishes semisweet with a bready aftertaste

Mouthfeel: medium-light body, prickly carbonation, soft texture

Other comments: I definitely prefer my weissbiers unfiltered, but this is still pretty good. Franziskaner is certainly one of the "hallmarks" of this style.

enjoyed at bolero restaurant and bar schwerin, didn’t know this beer existed, haven’t had a kristallweizen is ages i feel, it’s a nice wheat beer certainly inferior to the normal hefe, subdued estery fruity flavours mixed with a nice white bready malt, light to medium bitterness, crisp enough finish pretty drinkable, decent

Cerveza dorada casi transparente con dos dedos de espuma de poca retención. Cuerpo ligero y carbonatación media. Aroma especiado y un poco cítrico. Sabor ligeramente dulce con un poco de herbáceo pero algo plano.
Claramente inferior a la de trigo tradicional y a la dunkel.

L: Crystal clear golden color, massive six finger white head, loads of carbonation.

S: Wheat, malts, hops. I don't like the smell.

T: Tastes kind of like a weissbier with the banana notes and such but not really. It's very decent though.

F: Medium bodied, extremely drinkable and refreshing.

O: Decent offering. Would gladly drink it again, especially on a hot summer day.
