Beer Review: Franziskaner Weissbier

Serving Type: Draft

ABV: Five percent

Appearance: Some see orange tones in this beer, but it comes off to me as a dark straw color. The beer's body appears very hazy and wheatey. I've had this beer quite a few times and each glass I've had has featured a fluffy and foamy head.

Smell: This beer smells very wheat-like. It's also provides a pleasant scent of citrus, with lemon being the dominant aroma.

Taste: It tastes like plenty of yeast and wheat. The zest of the lemon gives you a unique kick on the front of your tongue. Breath in a little bit of the beer in as you sip it. The scent and the flavor compliment each other very well in this brew.

Overall Rating:   

I'm a big fan of weissbiers as it's one of my favorite styles. I love the mix of wheat and citrus. I just usually expect more of a citrus variety. This beer is also one of my favorite beer names. I love casually bringing up Frankziskaner in conversation just for the sake of saying it.
