Name: Franziskaner Hefeweizen
Brewer: Spaten-Franziskaner Brauerai (Munich, Germany)
Classification: Hefeweizen
Alcohol: 5%
Thoughts: Last night the wife and I, along with some friends of our's went to a local German restaurant to celebrate Oktoberfest. We ordered schnitzel, bretzel, spatzle, bratwurst and of course BEER! Epic beer! You may not be able to tell from the picture but that is a enormous 36oz mug of frosty, delicious beer. The beer in the glass was Franziskaner Hefewizen which is another beer that will be at Oktoberfest this year. This beer pours a cloudy, radiant orangey-gold with a frothy, foamy head. The almost ethereal aroma was filled with banana esters, clove and citrus fruit. The zesty taste was complied of more banana, spice, grain and a puckering tartness that is so enjoyable. There is a moderate amount of alcohol, carbonation and hoppiness in the aftertaste. After I finished this behemoth of a beer and all the bratwurst I could handle I reveled in the fact that I was in the middle of a drinking experience. Despite the crappy service, I totally enjoyed it.
