Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier Dunkel

Aroma of biscuit, wheat, banana, spice. Hazy ripe stone fruit color (reddish amber?) with a head that filmed quickly. Full bodied with creamy carbonation. The yeast seems to be clove, with perhaps a bit of cardamom. There’s banana in there, as well as wheat, and something darkly malt - but probably dark wheat. It feels great. The finish is smooth, clove, darkish wheat malt. Not crisp, but very clean. It’s wonderful.

Hazy light brown. Small, creamy, light tan head. Aroma of lightly tangy wheat, bready and toasty malt, lightly zesty yeast. Same flavors. Bready malt drops off in the finish leaving just the zesty yeast character. Would like a little better follow through on the end, but it’s not a big deal. Medium body. Well carbonated while remaining very soft and easy to drink. Pretty good.

Pours out a cloudy light brown color with a thick beige head. Aroma is grainy and like bread. Flavor was sweet and spicy with a bit of bannana to it. Over all a nice refreshing beer.

The Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier Dunkel is a damn fine dunkelweizen! It’s got that nice, murky, brown gravy look, quickly dissipating head, and thick yeasty/wheaty palate. The finish is nice and sugary with some tasty estery qualities, mostly spicy cloves, but the banana can’t be counted out. The Franziskaner dunkelweizen is still crisp, but maybe not as much of a summer beer as a straight-up hefe. Of course, who cares? This would be good summer or winter.

Bottle, 50 cl. Thx to Leen. Hazy amber-brown color, with white head. Aroma malts (littles roasted), yeast. Medium body. Taste bit spices, caramel to, malts.

Unfortunately the cloudy brown appearance looks like sewer water but thats the only negative thing to say about this beer. Aroma is sharp & spicy with a little sweetness coming through. Taste is sharp and refereshing and is well balanced by the malty sweetness that is also present (although less prominent). It feels great in the mouth and would make a great session beer.

Brown colour with big head.Looks muddy and has some taste of rosted wheat and note of banana.Fresh finish.

Pours a very muddy murky red brown. Aroma of a little roasted wheat and a little clove. Not too aromatic. Flavor is a nice sweet roasted wheat with a little chocolate, a little banana, and some clove. Definitley yeasty. Rather thin in body. Very carbonated. Rather refreshing.
