Details

Not all wheat beers are created equal. Franziskaner Royal is brewed by master brewers who combine the traditional wheat beer apricot and banana flavours with flavours of rich figs, honeydew melon and dark berry notes. The result is a wheat beer like no other, full of fruity sweetness, elegant malt flavours and a slightly tart, hoppy note - making it the perfect companion to fine food and festive occasions.

Must be used in conjunction with the Perfect Draft Machine

Franziskaner Royal

Review by Michael 08/05/2019

Tried this for the first time, taking advantage of the "short date" offer. Enjoyed a couple of pint, great colour slightly sweet, with a hint of banana, taste and smell, as others have mentioned. Its worth a try but not sure it will be to everybody's taste!

Quality beer

Review by Anthomy 19/04/2019

Like I said in the summary . It's banana haven. Great taste and everyone who hasn't tried this really need to buy atleast one keg as itveont be your last . I do reccomend giving it a shame before installing it or even storing it upside down. Ps wait till you get to the last pint :).

Very Good , Strong taste.

Review by Hankem 18/04/2019

Very very good but I prefered the normal Franziskaner. This has a stronger taste which is overpowering on the first few drinks but then as you get used to it turns great. Good strength.

Good but preferred the original.

Review by Karl 29/03/2019

Ordered as I had seen great reviews about it but it fell a bit sort of them for me. The fruit taste was a bit much I could only have a pint or two in one sitting. Will stick with the original one now which is amazing.

Review by Steve 18/03/2019

A delicious, deep, dark wiess bier from Germany, it's probably the best bier on the PD. The depth of flavour in this bier really is quite exceptional, I love it. S

Review by Felix The cat 13/03/2019

I love Franziskaner. I love wheat beer full stop.
This is a great example of how varied and different the all are.

This one is sweeter than your normal wheat beer, but very quaffable.
It does remind me a little on another superb PD beer Grand Cru, but Royal is a bit better.
Yet another that will be purchased again.

New to me...

Review by Mike 12/02/2019

Having moved to the PD because of Leffe Blonde I thought I would give this one a try and I wasn't disappointed.

Now I have Leffe Blonde and Franziskaner Royal on my favourites list and alternate between the two.

Rich flavour and great tasting beer, would highly recommend

Very Enjoyable

Always bought the normal Franziskaner but I tried this and prefer it!
It’s got more body and taste and I am seriously considering switching to this.

Review by Stephen 18/09/2018

Love the taste of this, nice fruity hit, easy to drink, but definitely not a session beer, otherwise you will regret it in the morning!

Very Tasty, but strong Weissbeer

Review by Phil 29/08/2018

Got a lovely flavour, but its a one to two pints kind of drink only, so I found myself swapping the kegs over repeatedly to another beer.

On the fence, neither serves to fully satisfy or disappoint.

Review by Ian 20/08/2018

Less gassy but creamier than the standard Franziskaner. Incredibly smooth to drink, with subtle banana and caramel undertones, enriched in a cloudy amber pour. Personally, I prefer the original, albeit, not much between them.

Not Royal Enough

King of the wheat beers (maybe only second to Vitus?). Major banana hit, nice high alcohol level, creamy and moreish. What more do you need.

Review by IanB 12/07/2018

Bought this on the basis that I like the normal Franziskaner (albeit from a bottle, not tried the keg version yet) and I wasn't disappointed! Not particularly anything like the normal, however it's really smooth, easy drinking, without the strength 'hit' you get with some 6%+ beers. Got through a whole keg in one BBQ! Have already bought some more!

If you like Franziskaner...

100%

Review by Mike_P 18/06/2018

...then you'll love this. I found it slightly sweeter, richer and more complex than the 'normal' Franziskaner - all of which makes it delicious! The characteristic taste and mouth feel of the original Franziskaner remains though. I will certainly be ordering this one again.

Great Beer

Review by Richard 14/06/2018

Argued with a fellow PD owner over who could keep this one at the end of the night and who could keep the Hasseroder! I lost and was gutted to take home the lager! Bought another just to make sure I could see out the bottom of the barrel and it did not disappoint. Awesome beer.

Easy summer drinking

Review by Miles 09/06/2018

Thought I would take a gamble on this as I usually drink the Leffe or Kwak kegs and I found it easy pleasant drinking for a summer afternoon. As with other kegs 3 degrees can take away some of the complexity so it’s worth letting it warm up just a little to get of those flavours

Lovely

Review by Callum 05/06/2018

A different beer to the normal Franziskaner - this one is more amber / copper coloured and a bit sweeter to me, you still get the banana flavour coming through...nice, will definitely order again

Can't fault this wheat beer!

Review by Tom 18/04/2018

Title says it all - best wheat beer around. Its a dark wheat beer and is slighty more bitter but i prefer that. Still has that banana and vanilla flavour and has a big frothy head when poured
