Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier Dunkel

500 ml bottle. Hazy, dark amber colour. Big, foamy off-white head. Yeast, wheat and banana in the sweet aroma. Spicy, slightly roasted flavour of wheat, nuts with a hint of banana and citrus. Bread-like aftertaste.

First noticed caramel in the nose and then a lot of wheat and some lemon. Poured a hazy amber with a sustaining white head. Not much happening on the front of the tongue, but it hits you in the back with a bold burst of hefe - that combination of wheat, citrus and flowery hop. Finishes dry.

Cloudy brown colour, off-white head. Aroma has banana (and phenoles indeed) and some spices. Flavour has banana, spices and bread. Full mouthfeeling, very smooth.

In my opinion, if Germany didn’t have hefeweisens, beer would be overrated in that country. Thank God for hefeweisens. This one’s my favorite I’ve had thus far. You can keep the head down if you pour it right. It’s EXTREMELY smooth with a solid finish. It’s sweet and tasty! I spent 7 weeks in Germany a year ago and gained 15 pounds thanks to drinking 6 cases of this stuff. I love a meal in a bottle. This one is worth it!

Brown cloudy murk, nice head. Smell of banana and vanilla (phenols). Lots of carbonation. Nice taste, but a bit bland. Pretty good.

Bottle. Pours a brown colour with lots of fizz, and a large white head. Aroma is primarely wheat & fruit, whereas the flavor is more spicy and malty. Good.

Very nice. Aroma has that banana, bubble gum smell w/ some malt as well. It has a very pleasant brownish color, with a nice white head. It tastes similar to traditional Hefe, but with both a fuller body and a deeper maltier taste. It’s not quite the same, not as smooth not quite as refreshing as Franziskaner Helles. Good nonetheless.

Murky orangey brown, basic off-white head. Wheaty nose, ripe banana and little clove. Flavor has strong banana, wheat and spices. Wheat and a bit cellary finish. Medium bodied, strongly carbonated palate. Good honest dunkel.
