Cloudy by nature. Rich in tradition. A true taste of Bavaria.
Franziskaner Weissbier Naturtrüb is one of Germany's most celebrated wheat beers, brewed in Munich according to centuries of Bavarian brewing tradition. Naturally cloudy, wonderfully refreshing, and bursting with character, it is a benchmark for the Hefeweizen style, combining expressive yeast aromas with a soft, creamy mouthfeel that has delighted beer lovers around the world for generations.
The name Franziskaner has been synonymous with wheat beer since the 14th century, and every glass reflects that remarkable heritage. Brewed with a generous proportion of wheat malt alongside the finest barley malt, Hallertau hops, and a traditional top-fermenting yeast strain, this Weissbier develops the unmistakable aromas of ripe banana, clove, and subtle citrus that define the style. The result is a beer that is both complex and effortlessly refreshing, balancing fruit, spice, and malt in perfect harmony.
Its natural haze is a hallmark of authenticity, carrying the suspended yeast that contributes both flavour and texture. For wheat beer enthusiasts in Ireland, Franziskaner Weissbier Naturtrüb offers one of the purest expressions of Bavarian brewing—a beer equally suited to long summer afternoons, hearty meals, or simply enjoying the timeless elegance of a true German classic.
Why we love it:
Franziskaner has earned its reputation through consistency and tradition. Few wheat beers capture the style's signature banana and clove character with such finesse while remaining incredibly smooth and refreshing. The creamy body, lively carbonation, and naturally fruity yeast profile make every sip feel vibrant without ever becoming heavy. It's a beer that demonstrates why Bavarian Weissbier continues to be admired throughout the world.
