Franziskaner Premium Weissbier
Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu

My favorite of all German wheat beers. Excellent taste, aroma, and feel. I have been drinking this beer since I was stationed in Germany in the 80s and still love it.

Probably the best i have ever tried,simply outstanding smell and taste.

 

Opaque gold body with a large ivory colored head. Bangs out trusted esters like clove and banana with little reliance on hops beyond some spiciness. Flavor stays true to the style and tradition. Smooth, creamy, deftly carbonated mouthfeel. One of the best if you like weissbiers.

 

Pours a beautiful hazy golden orange. Bready aroma, hints of banana. Wonderful aftertaste. One of my favorite go to weissebiers.

 

Best Weiss beer I’ve had outside of Germany, I’m in Athens at a local Italian restaurant and it’s served here in a chilled glass 500ml, the look is a fantastic orange—brown, it smells like bread baking fresh in the oven with hints of banana. The taste is so smooth yet complex with the different notes hitting at different times. Must recommend to anyone who loves wheat beer!

5/21/23 Poured from a 12 oz bottle from the Washington Beer Store.

Nice hazy gold with a fair amount of initial head. Scattered lacing.

Not as chewy as Weihenstephaner Hefe, not as complex, but still very decent.
Aroma is stone banana bread and green apple.

Taste follows aroma. Malty finish with a slight effervescent bite on the tongue

500ml. bottle in Mae Kasa, Thailand. Pours a cloudy dark orange with a retentive head. Aroma of wheat, malts, banana and yeast. Taste of light citrus, banana, wheat, bread. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. A pleasant Hefe.

 

 

My favorite wheat beer and German beer. Overall, one of my favorite beers of all time! Love the floral and spice flavor and can't forget the hints of banana.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Among the classic German wheat beers. It's somehow similar with Paulaner Hefe-Weissbier Naturtrüb, but with a more pronounced floral/spiciness/banana flavor and a much bigger head that persists even more (extra thicc foam for the win)!

C: Golden/ blond slightly hazy. Thick three finger head that boils down to a thin band quickly. Almost no lacing.

S: Belgian yeast, spicy, malty hay smell

T: Belgian yeast spice upfront, banana, floral. Sweet malt profile, finishes with a rich bread flavor.

F: Clean, light body, wet. Smooth light effervescence.

Overall: 12fl. oz bottle, no bottled date, best by 29.04.2023, 5%ABV, Poured at 41.2ºF, local purchase don't remember the price. Great beer overall easy drinker that I would have again maybe just not back-to-back as the flavor is very rich.

 

 

Exactly what a german hefe should be in every way.

 

 

 

Poured a 0.5 l bottle in a hefe en glass.
Color is orange hazy with a big head. The smell is yeasty, and bananas, little alcohol. The taste follows nose, yeasty, banana, apple, honey that combine perfectly with a lingering taste. The body is full with good mouthfeel. Refreshing and delicious, one of my favorites.

The notes of banana are very welcoming and very refreshing. This beer easily makes my top 10 beers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

330ml bottle into a pint glass. Best by 7/1/23, so gonna guess 3 months old.

Looks stellar in the glass. Hazy glowing amber body with a strong thick white head. Scattered lacing.

Really strong aroma of banana, though a little musty, likely the wheat.

On tasting, no mustiness. Very clean, and massive banana flavor. A little sweet. Loving this.

Mouth medium, finish sweet banana.

Overall, a very enjoyable weissbier, happy to have another 5 in reserve.

Weissbier pours a hazy but highly carbonated burnt orange of a color with a fizzy, quick dissipating head. Aroma is more apple, pear fruity aroma as opposed to the banana and clove but there are hints. Also very inviting. The taste follows the nose and it's every bit a delicious hefeweizen. Just spanking good mouthfeel. Leaves a fabulous lingering flavor on the tongue. Overall another fantastic German import of a weissbier.
