Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier Dunkel

Bottle. malty aroma and a large off-white head. Nice fresh wheet flavor. Very good weissbier

Sweet, ripe banana in the aroma perhaps even some nuts and... sweet pastries? Surprisingly transparent and much less cloudy than the blonde variety. The taste reminds me a lot of ice cream I often had as a kid: banana, chocolate and almonds. Really! Might be a slight hint of citrus there too. It feels a bit thin on the palate and the complexity isn’t off the scale, but still, it feels like they’ve hit a pretty good compromise between an easy drinking and refreshing brew and something you can delve into. Solid and pleasant if not great or spectacular.

Pours nicely. But i hated the smell. I hated the taste. I just couldnt bring myself to like it.

By far not the best Dunkel Hefe that I have had and for me this lacks the body of other examples.....but don’t get me wrong this is drinkable. Page 169 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer guide only 408 out 500 Classic Brews to go.

Butterscotch, molasses, and fruits in the aroma. Muddy brown appearance with small lasting head. Starts with foam on the palate finishes bitter.

Pours Dark Murky brown with biscuit large colored head. Very malty aroma, mainly a roasted nutty scent. Medium body and smooth going down. Strong flavor of malt - very complex, with banana and spices.

1 pint 9oz bottle - Pours murky brown with thick offwhite head. Aroma of roasted nutty malt and spice. Sweet wheat flavor with citrus overtones. It’s decent enough to drink again, but I haven’t yet developed a taste for wheat beers yet. This may go well with seasame chicken or glazed ham.

Bottle. Cloudy dark brown with a beautiful big creamy fully lasting off-white head leaving a very nice good lasting lacing. Aroma of wheat and some roasty maltiness, spices, some caramel. Flavour is fresh, good wheat, dark malts, some banana, good spices. GREAT brew!
