For hot summer days there is nothing better than a Hefeweizen - and yes, they usually come in 0,5 liter bottles (you have a 0,3L bottle?) and so are the glasses, 0,5L in a beergarden, you just cant beat that. Happy beertasting!
just had one last night with some pretzels. Thank god for the beer distributer here, this beer is sort of difficult to find here. Cheers from white plains, NY.
one of my fav beers. i started drinking it in college. I also like Spaten and Paulaner beers. The only american beer that i like is Samuel Adams. Makes me thirsty!!
I'm the opposite. I hate most American wheat beers, and love German hefeweizens. Unlike German hefes, most American wheat beers are fermented with a neutral ale yeast, so there's no banana, clove, or bubblegum flavors, just the sour, lemony, grainy wheat flavors that I don't care for. The only American wheat beer that i've tried and like is Southern Tier's Heavy Weizen. I think it's brewed with a German weizen yeast strain, because it has the flavors associated with German hefes.
The ABV of Franziskaner is 5.0% Tell your friend to try the Maisel Weisse its great. Norm, you might not care for it but if you like the style, Maisel follows it perfectly. They also make a Kristall which is a filtered Hefe.The strongest wheat beer I have tried so far is Clipper city brewing Hang Ten, Weizen Dopplebock it's 10%
IFor sure. Rogue Moms Hefeweizen. German hefs are actual hefs. i refer to them as american wheats because they taste so different from one and another that they both shouldnt be called hefs. I do enjoy the Pyramid IMPERIAL HEF. not the regular pyramid hef but the imperial one. You will enjoy it way more than what you just had there.
I tried it for the first time today- pretty good.

dont put down the mexican beer. Modelo and Dos X are great. You just have to try so you can find out.

Great job. I felt like I was sitting at the bar with a couple of buddies. Why do they make these beers that are so hard to remember the name?

Very good review.Another interesting looking beer to track down.
