Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier Naturtrüb

◎ Appearance

Franziskaner pours a copper-gold hue with a persistent, even yeast haze throughout the glass. A dense white head forms and holds steadily, displaying good adhesion to the glass walls. The high carbonation creates a lively, animated bead that sustains the visual liveliness of the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe banana and bright citrus notes, characteristic of the house top-fermenting yeast strain. A delicate floral undertone weaves through, accompanied by a light clove-like spice that adds complexity without dominating. The overall aromatics are inviting and fruit-forward, with no harsh solvent or oxidative notes.

◐ Taste

The palate enters gently sweet and juicy, with the signature banana and citrus character flowing across the mid-palate. A balancing tartness emerges, keeping the beer's sweetness in check and adding refresh. The finish transitions to a moderate bitterness—clean and articulate—that leads into a fairly dry, crisp conclusion without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is moderate in length and dries cleanly, with the yeast-driven spice lingering subtly. No cloying sweetness persists; instead, a crisp, refreshing quality carries through to the aftertaste.

Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.

Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.
