Description

Franziskaner Weissbier is a Weissbier, meaning it's brewed with malt that is at least 50% wheat. Franziskaner, for example, is brewed with 75% wheat (also known as common wheat) and 25% malted barley. It's a pale wheat beer, one of the most widespread examples of the style, and enjoys a reputation that extends far beyond its native Germanic borders.

This Franziskaner Weissbier develops a striking golden color with pinkish highlights in the glass. Its head is generous, persistent, and accompanied by considerable effervescence. The nose offers aromas typical of a good Weissbier, with pronounced fruity notes of citrus and banana ester, complemented by spicy aromas of pepper and yeast. On the palate, the flavor profile mirrors the aroma, with bold fruit flavors and a clear dominance of banana. The spicy impression then emerges very clearly, with peppery notes followed by hints of clove and vanilla.

Ultimately, Franziskaner is an exceptional beer, extremely refreshing and a benchmark in the wheat beer style. It's worth noting that wheat beers can go by many similar names such as Weizen, Hefeweizen, Weissbier, Kristalweiss...
