With all the craft beers available, their hype and push the limit recipes...this is such a classic and such a great beer.. Probably my personal favorite.
HAH this beer pisses and shits all over any of these "ten minutes ago i began a brewing course" IPA breweries full of hipsters selling their beer for £7.00 a can. People have been fooled by this nonsense for a longtime and age old breweries like Wehenstephaner, Franziskaner, Paulaner etc CLEARLY would have far greater knowledge of brewing than any skinny jeans wearing moustachio 24 year old "bi-gender" middle class mummies boy.
@@derrickdomino8210 I love your reply! All the guys at our office keep bringing in new and different beers to try...they rarely have the same one twice...lol...I tell them no thanks...I'll just stick to the several I've been drinking for a long time...Cheers...
This is my favorite beer. After being in Germany for a while I seeked out Hefes here in the U.S. and found this one at a store near me. Ever since I tried it, it was hooked.
It was always my go to German Wheat beer!!! They have it on tap at the German Restaurant Plattdeutch Park in Franklin Square Long Island New York!! Gonna get a stein of it this weekend at the Bavarian Festival!!!
Recently went on a trip to Munich/Bavaria. Visited the famous Hofbrauhaus, personally felt it was overrated - rushed atmosphere rather than relaxed, and the HB beer was average. Went to a local pub/beer garden for dinner. Ordered a pint of Franziskaner. Instantly hooked - best thing I’ve ever drank
My housemate asked to try one of my Franziskaner’s whilst I was out. I said sure. I came back to find out two were missing at it’s the best beer she’s had in her life. I said welcome to Deutsche Weissbier gnädige frau 😂😎
I liked the enthusiasm of your first taste. "Drink deep or taste not." One of my favorites - it's a bit between the light and dunkel weizens in color, with both fruit and spice.
This is my favorite beer in the entire world man! First time I ever had it was when I went on a German exchange trip to Heidelberg, with my fellow exchange students, for two weeks. We had this everywhere and even got a keg of it. Ever since it’s been the best beer I’ve ever had, bar none. Love your channel! 🍻 Cheers.
This is the ultimate yummy wheat beer. I also love the wheat bits in my beer. After my first time trying this I wasn't to sure about it. After the second one l was in love. Its like kissing the most beautiful blonde woman that came down from heaven. You don't want it to ever end. I'm totally enjoying my 54th birthday after working second shift. Drinking a full litre of this wonderful beer. I'll be finishing a second litre before turning in. This is a real special treat
I prefer the Franziskaner as well, though if I can get Erdinger from the tap I go for that. Though I haven't had the other two from the tap, I can't find them.
Looks like a thing of beauty that Paul old lad ….just waiting for vicki to get in from the supermarket….she says she’s got me a couple of these ….looking forward to it ….over the last couple of months ,got into Weiss beers….I like the sniederweisse tap 1 and tap 7 ….take care ginge ,😊all the best mate….
I had this tonight Paul. Got it from the Co-op on the way home from work. Yeah, tidy job, as you said it was a bit gassy, maybe just a bit too gassy for me pal! Nice Christmas taste to it.
With a lager that can really benefit the drinkability, definitely. If you try and pour a wheat beer like that you just end up with foam all over the place usually 😆
This is my favourite weissbier so far, flavours so pronounced and layered, but I have heard the Paulaner one could be even better, still have to try it, but it would have to be VERY good.
Just had my first one and thought it was decent. Not sure I could drink too many in one session but nice to have 2 or 3. I'd say that one of the flavours you missed was cloves. Agree about banana but cloves is quite prominent in my opinion. Thanks for review.
@@chrisstucker1813 to be fair, since I have wrote my original comment I have built up more love for Frankie. I think it is OK to have as session beer and buy it all the time for my PD now. The Royal version is outstanding. Not as impressed with Erdinger although its still nice. Paulaner is very good too.
No doubting its a fantastic beer. The first 1 2 3 for sure even 4 or 5 definitely. For me the Weihenstephaner weisse holds longer. Every single pour holds that 1st beer flavour 10 deep, while the Franziskaner slowly drops off. I always rate my beers that way whatever the style. Just my 10 cents. The first 2 or 3 though are just superb.
Great review Paul this has become my favorite beer of all time I have only tried it after seeing your review since I am from Portugal I always just drank Sagres & Super bock but this one surpassed these two times one thousand Keep up with the reviews Paul Subscribed
Never had Franziskaner. My local craft beer store has Weihenstephaner, Tucher, Erdinger and Benediktiner hefeweizens. Erdinger was actually my least favorite of all those and to me tasted the blandest and lacked flavor compared to the other 3. Would love to get my hands on Franziskaner.
Lowe’s foods in America Southeast stocks Franziskaner, one of the five that I keep stock myself along with HB original recipe, Innis & Gunn (when I can get some) Guinness Blonde and Ayinger. There was a Appalachian Craft beer called French Toast Blonde that was awesome but it was discontinued; the local beer guy said they received to many complaints over the sexist connotation, bunch of moronic complainers.
If you get a good weizen it's a style that's hard to beat. I would say I prefer the weihenstephaner myself. I've got this and the franziskaner Royal on pd to review. I recommend if you can get the frankie royal, get it. Good review Paul 👍
Unfortunately I was quite disappointed with this one. I love Erdinger so thought I would give it a try knowing it was a similar type of beer but I found the taste of clove a bit overpowering for my liking. I don't detect any clove taste when drinking Erdinger which allows me to fully enjoy the beer.
This will sound silly but i tried that Weissbier today and it was terrible it tasted like candle wax in a bottle , I will stick to IPA beers as this stuff is not for me lol
@@paulsbeerreviews I must do a side by side with them and see. I do enjoy it I have to say. There’s actually a cheaper perlenbacher weis too, it’s decent for .99p but obviously nowhere near as good as the main ones
Does anybody feel paulaner and hofbrau are water down compared to these! Ayinger taste bland! Schneider has a al component but good! Hacker pschor definitely has a hop characteristic and good! weistephaner and franziskaner per bliss! Ranking weistephaner, franziskaner hacker pschor paulaner schinder ayinger hafbrau! Your welcome I’m drunk 🥴
Gorgeous weissbier it is German liquid gold 10/ 10 rating . People who drink macro lagers are missing out.
Of all the reviewers of weissbiers I've seen, you're the first one who has shown the bottle prominently. Excellent presentation!

Finna try it just about now
The best wheat beer in my opinion

10/10 indeed. My favorite beer and you can buy it from a grocery store.
Just tried these for the first time tonight, wawl. I've been missing out.
So satisfying on the palette.
Drinking this right now 👍👍👍
This and leffe introduced me to different styles of beers outside of shitty lagers so cheers franziskaner and Leffe
I love Franziskaner
My housemate asked to try one of my Franziskaner’s whilst I was out. I said sure. I came back to find out two were missing at it’s the best beer she’s had in her life. I said welcome to Deutsche Weissbier gnädige frau 😂😎
when i started trying different beers, out of many, this one stood really stood out to me and its still my favourite
As soon as I seen how he poured this beer I knew he is worth listening too, fantastic beer, great review!
This is the REAl DEAL! CHEERS from Delaware USA
Quit possibly the best beer I’ve ever tasted! 🍻
I liked the enthusiasm of your first taste. "Drink deep or taste not." One of my favorites - it's a bit between the light and dunkel weizens in color, with both fruit and spice.
Absolutely belting this stuff ......
Excellent review thanks. Recently tried this and straight away has now become one of my favourites.

Can’t go wrong with weissbier 👍🍁 🍺 🇨🇦
Going be having a few of these watching Scotland at the euros top beer.
I prefer the Franziskaner as well, though if I can get Erdinger from the tap I go for that. Though I haven't had the other two from the tap, I can't find them.
Man UK have got it good! Under 2 pound. Costs at least 7+AUD In aus. Best beer of all time no doubt.
Looks like a thing of beauty that Paul old lad ….just waiting for vicki to get in from the supermarket….she says she’s got me a couple of these ….looking forward to it ….over the last couple of months ,got into Weiss beers….I like the sniederweisse tap 1 and tap 7 ….take care ginge ,😊all the best mate….
Ah, that's a classic.
That’s a great beer on a hot summers day….
Totally agree 🍻
Your face after the first taste 👌🤣 great vid love the beer 👍
I had this tonight Paul. Got it from the Co-op on the way home from work.
Yeah, tidy job, as you said it was a bit gassy, maybe just a bit too gassy for me pal!
Nice Christmas taste to it.
Franziskaner and Maisel's Weissbier are my 2 favorite wheat beers :) and I prefer weizens compared to barley lagers...
When pouring beer, you pour it fast to release the gases. That’s the way I was taught
With a lager that can really benefit the drinkability, definitely.
If you try and pour a wheat beer like that you just end up with foam all over the place usually 😆
@@paulsbeerreviews oh wow, I did not know that lol. I see what ya mean now 😂

I agree. I couldn't have many of these because that spicy clove taste is just too much for me. I found it quite overpowering and much prefer Erdinger.

Mate this one of the best ones
i like more Maisel's
bEST BEER IN THE WORLD
Beautiful beer a solid 9/10 for me its beautiful!!!! I really think this is a true premium beer!! this is what a premium beer should be!!!
And this beer are cheaper compare to another medium premium beers.
100% recommend this beer. Just drank one myself. 🍺
I love this beer even in Russia. Thank u for review! Peace to the world!
My favourite beer of all time, nice one. Got one left in the fridge🍺
Paul rules!!
No doubting its a fantastic beer. The first 1 2 3 for sure even 4 or 5 definitely. For me the Weihenstephaner weisse holds longer. Every single pour holds that 1st beer flavour 10 deep, while the Franziskaner slowly drops off. I always rate my beers that way whatever the style. Just my 10 cents. The first 2 or 3 though are just superb.
I've often found it in Lidl here in Ireland for €1.96 per bottle. Very nice enjoyable beer.
I have been buying a box of German beer every other month or so from Beer Hawk and have to say that this has to be in my top three Weissbiers.
It’s a lot better for you than most larger
Great review Paul this has become my favorite beer of all time I have only tried it after seeing your review since I am from Portugal I always just drank Sagres & Super bock but this one surpassed these two times one thousand

It’s no.2 for me, just a touch behind weihenstephaner. Both beautiful tho 👌🏻
Agreed and I have 7 hefe in front of me right now

I love this beer. Been drinking it for awhile.
Straight into my top ten, so drinkable. Cheers for the review. Your channel is costing me lol.
😆 thank you for watching buddy….sorry about the cost 🤦🏻♂️
Totally agree, this one is brilliant.
My fav thus far. Good job on the review.
Great Beer Paul. Try some Paulaner weissbier if you can get your hands on it, its top class 👍🏼

Awesome review.... one of my favourites too
My favourite.
I ordered a keg of this stuff for the PD. It's really easy drinking for a wheat beer. Keep up the good work Paul!
Sounds awesome that! I’d be all over this on the PD if I had one.
Cheers mate, hope you’re well 🍻
Owned by Budweiser now or In Bev so to speak. This one is my favorite.
Doesn't matter once its brewed in Germany they have to stick to the purity law so it wont effect the beer👍🏻
Drinking weihenstephaner and franz right now. Both are good but weihenstephaner is smoother IMO.
4:40 I know this feeling, one of the best weizen
All are 4 for £6 at Tesco excellent value for excellent beer always reminds me of Amish culture . lovely with apple pie and custard.
Will have to try that combination, that sounds amazing! Cheers 🍻
@@paulsbeerreviews It's even cheaper at ASDA. It sells 4 for the price of 3, which comes at £5.40 for 4 bottles; thus, costing £1.35 per bottle.
@@AA-uf3bl what a deal!!!
Thanks Paul.. this is now in Lidl for £1.50 a bottle
Lovely beer. Good review as always Paul

great review Paul, my favourite of the 'Big 3' has to be Weienstephaner
Samuel Smith's do a cracking wheat beer
Staple beer , reliable as can be..
I really enjoyed this beer.
It's a belter
This has become my regular weiss! Erdinger is good - patronus frm aldi is decent - but this is king!👍🍻🍺
Superb beer!! Just enjoying one having bought one for £1.80 from Booths. Great review!!
Enjoy buddy. Thanks for stopping by 🍻
👍🍻🍻🍻12.50€ 20 x0.5l.🇩🇪🇩🇪
found another one to try
This will sound silly but i tried that Weissbier today and it was terrible it tasted like candle wax in a bottle , I will stick to IPA beers as this stuff is not for me lol
It's a laffe blonde basically
Not really but if you think they taste similar, I won’t argue 🍻
I’m wondering if the bottle of patronus you got was off or something cus I find it to be almost as good as this and erdinger.
Maybe? Just really didn’t enjoy the Patronus.
@@paulsbeerreviews I must do a side by side with them and see. I do enjoy it I have to say. There’s actually a cheaper perlenbacher weis too, it’s decent for .99p but obviously nowhere near as good as the main ones
It's a good beer but lacks the punch of Aldi's Rhinebacker wiessbeer and the latter is cheaper!
what do you do for work paul?
I’m a gardener by trade mate, I also do a bit of football coaching.
Weihenstephan Hefe Weissbier
Franziskaners Weissbier

I Love Hefeweizen 🍺🤤
Test the o% alc Type. Not a big difference.🍻🍻🇩🇪
4 for 6 quid in Morrisons
Quite good stuff this beer..maybe not as good as Weihenstephaner.
Does anybody feel paulaner and hofbrau are water down compared to these! Ayinger taste bland! Schneider has a al component but good! Hacker pschor definitely has a hop characteristic and good! weistephaner and franziskaner per bliss! Ranking weistephaner, franziskaner hacker pschor paulaner schinder ayinger hafbrau!

The Lidl Petronus beer is horrible!
Nice beer.. But proper clovey though!
A couple of these and you're fed up of cloves!
