Beers similar to Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier Dunkel

Dunkelweizen·Germany·5% ABV·One of 89 Dunkelweizens in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier Dunkel's banana-y and malty character. The dark Hefe-Weissbier pours deep amber with a strong yeast haze and a creamy, off-white head. Its aroma is led by malt: fresh bread, nuts and caramel, with moderate roast, hints of dark chocolate and a touch of vanilla over the banana-like fruit of the wheat yeast. The body is medium and velvety-soft, yet the carbonation keeps it lively. Malty sweetness dominates the palate, followed by a lightly lingering bitterness and a rounded, full finish.
