Franziskaner Weissbier

Today's offering is a classic Bavarian wheat beer with a nice picture on the bottle that looks like the present pope, and I am wondering if he choose his name after the beer.........

Appearance:

Pale cloudy brown yellow with the typical large lasting white wheat beer head

Aroma:

The typical ripe bananas that I associate with wheat beer is there but backed up with a hint of coriander.

Taste:

The taste is that typically cream malt with bananas backed with some more spice, almost nutmeg and cloves. The finish is long but small quite quenching with malt and more banana fading in.

Overall:

A good Bavarian wheat beer but nothing that makes it shine, the Schneider is more challenging taste wise. But ideal as my first wheat beer, but given the choose I would choose the other option!
