Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier Dunkel

Pours a hazy dark amber with a perfect, fluffy off-white head that sticks around. Aroma of dark fruits, yeast, and cloves. Taste is strange. Begins like normal Franziskaner with some higher than average bubbliness and banana notes but then turns a light sour with a somewhat watery, bland aftertaste. No lacing. Strange that this is the dark version of Franziskaner but is more watery and muted than the normal hefeweisen.

bottle. red brown, big off white head. malty roast, lot of carbonation. seems a little thin. slightly sweet. ok

Bottle. Poured deep teak with thick white head. Citrusy aroma with a bit of fresh baked bread. Full flavour, like very good freshly baked bread, with a fine hop bite. Lekker balanced finish.

Aroma - sour rye, sweet, banana Appearance - cloudy caramel, off-white head with some white lacing flavor - dry, slightly sour, like a Belgian wit palate - thin, lingering sourness overall - not bad, but not something I’ll try again

The color is a medium red/brown, with a strong hop smell, the smell of the grains/wheat really come through as well. The hop flavor was too strong for my personal taste, and it was a little too carbonated.

Red-brown body with quickly disappearing white head. Malty and wheaty flavor with some extra carbonation.

The aroma is strongly wheat, banana, spicy cloves. Its appearance is a nice dark brown, hazy, large off-white head. Wheaty, spicy flavor, with notes of bitter chocolate. The carbonation, and a slight hoppiness dominate the palate. Ok for the style.

ar:cardboard dominates, bruwn sugar, dark fruits below that. fl: brown sugar, raisisjns, wheat, slight sawdust. sort fo an okay dunkel weissbier, but not as fantastic as the light version.
