A fancy looking 500ml bottle of German beer, with 5% ABVPoured into a *ahem* Franziskaner weizen glass
The appearance is typically 'Hefe weiss'; Big foamy head, golden straw colour, cloudy and plenty of carbonation present.
On the nose, big German yeast gives off plenty of banana & cloves with some wheat and bread also evident.
The taste is delicious - Delicate wheat, sweet bread and grain develops into definite banana and clove. Finishes sweet, with more clove, coriander and maybe some apple. There is barely any bitterness from the hops.
The mouthfeel is smooth, refreshing, carbonation levels are perfect, very mild astringency and it has a light/medium body. Despite the lack of hop character, it feels well balanced and is a good example of a German Hefe. Endlessly drinkable
85% - Good
