Hefeweizen is a top-fermented, usually unfiltered beer that has its roots in 16th-century Bavaria. The first documented mention of Hefeweizen beer dates back to the same year as the Bavarian Purity Law, and it has since become one of the most popular brews in its homeland. Thanks to the combination of barley and wheat malt and the yeast that remains in the beer, Hefeweizen has a robust, spicy, and fruity flavor. Despite its sturdy stature and creamy texture, it is fresh and bubbly. Hefeweizen pairs perfectly with Bavarian cuisine, but can also be enjoyed alone in a pinch.

The master brewers at Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräus are experts in this popular beer style. Years ago, they specialized in the production of diverse, drinkable, and well-rounded wheat beers and brew a fantastic selection. One beer has emerged as a true crowd-pleaser: the Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier Hell, the classic that everyone enjoys.

The delicious original flows into the glass with a coppery, honey-gold hue. A small crown of dense, firm, blossom-white foam sits atop the opaque body, tinged with strong yeast veils. The aroma of oven-fresh banana bread and sun-ripened citrus fruits wafts into the nose and awakens thirst. A taste test reveals a finely sparkling wheat beer with fresh fruit components, full-bodied spice, smooth grain, and a mild sweetness – a harmonious drink that leaves you wanting more!
