Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse, golden goodness

David was at the Hofbrau Haus in Chicago and inspired me to acquire a bier from z fatherland (Deustcheland). Willkommen Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse! (and that friends, is the sad extent of my German).
A Fat Franciscan - A Sign of Greatness
The aroma is a delightfully strong citrus and orange with a little banana. This fellow is a hefeweizen, but not your watered down Blue Moon stuff.  Full bodied and fairly sweet, like a grandfather or the old chubby friar on the label - which the website actually animates to rub his belly like a happy fat kid. Good for him. This beer is rich and well balanced. Women who only drink Hefe's will enjoy it, but won't be able to have more than a couple.

This is a quality beer. There's nothing more to say, just look at the monk on the label and know you're in good hands. Drink this, it's THE ROCK.
