Pros: Delicious, authentic german wheat beers Cons: None
Ahhh weissbier. I've been drinking a lot of it lately, but then it's the perfect beer for warm June weather. The first wheat beer I ever tasted was brewed by Spaten in Munich, makers of Franziskaner weiss. That was the Club-Weisse. Tonight I'm drinking...
Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier is a Bavarian brew, produced in München, and is connected with the Spaten brewery. The brewery itself was founded in 1363 in the immediate vicinity of a Franciscan monastery. It is a top-fermented beer brewed in strict ...
Pros: Light and refreshing, easy to find in six packs and relatively inexpensive. Cons: None
My favorite invention
of the twentieth century, perhaps of all of the centuries, has to be central air conditioning. It is oppressively hot in Indianapolis tonight. The humidity seems to take your breath away when you step outside but I...
Pros: refreshing taste, zesty, great thirst quencher Cons: not always easy to find, you need to shop around
If I lived 600 years ago, at the end days of the Dark ages, I think I’d want to be a Franciscan Monk. I’d like to live in Germany and I would gladly take a vow of silence, too, if it meant that I could drink all the beer that me and my brothers...
Pros: sweet taste that's fairly complex but mild; very smooth; light body Cons: green bottle leads to skunky scent and taste; maybe a little too mild
I wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan of hefeweizens and wheat beers in general, although I have discovered some very tasty beers of the style over the last year or so. Franziskanker Hefe-Weissebier is one of the lesser-known names when it comes to ...
Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier, product of a Franciscan monastery is a German favorite. I was first introduced to it by a local bartender in Frankfurt who recommended it to me. I was not disappointed, in fact, I was delighted. So, of course, after...
Pros: Has pleasant berry notes. Cons: Taste lacks breadth.
Franziskaner Hefe-Weizen is a solid wheat beer. It is cloudy, dark golden in color, and its light and frothy as a wheat beer should be. In terms of taste, Franziskaner Hefe Weizen is yeasty and has assorted berry notes. All told, the taste is rather...
Pros: Spicy and complex yet drinkable. Cons: An unconventional style; may not be appealing to all drinkers.
This beer overwhelms you with smells and flavors that most would not consider to be beer flavors. And thank goodness! As with any good hefe-weisse (or weizen if you prefer), Franziskaner's offering is dominated by non-malt and non-hop flavors! ...
I first drank this in Switzerland, it was recomended to me by a friend. He was right, it is a good beer. Being a dutchland beer, it was pretty cheep and for a 1/2 leter beer you cant go wrong for your money.
When you pour it from the bottle to...
I am a beer drinker. If it's available, and in Germany it always is, I drink Franziskaner. This is a very smooth and tasty beer. I never get any kind of watered down or bitter taste. It's almost a sweet wheat flavor. To tell you the truth I can't...
Spaten Franziskaner Dunkel 16oz 473ml Deep and dark colored, cloudy with yeast Brewed with a darker roasted malt which adds some maltiness to the refreshing flavour of the Hefe-Weissbier B...
