hopIQ found 10 beers with the same hazy and fruity character as Franziskaner Royal. Royal began in 2011 as a vintage Weissbier with a new recipe each year; the recipe of the second edition has been a permanent part of the range since 2013. Stronger and a shade darker than the standard Naturtrüb, it pours hazy amber under an ivory head. The aroma carries ripe banana, honeydew melon, apricot, dark berries and fig. A light hop bitterness frames the fruity sweetness, while confident malt notes give the palate weight and lead into a rounded finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
