A cloudy orange body, decent head, thin collar, low retention. Develops a nice puffy collar.
Huge banana nose, big phenolic presence, plastic...grimy sharp, industrial. Clove background and spicy power.
Bright citrus burst rolling into s banana smoothie. It's herby, spicy, sharp cloves... Bubble gum finish and relatively dry characteristics after the clove burns free.
Carbonated off the bat, bitingly so. Through and through You have a full bodied flood of liquid that nearly hides the flavors. Flavors are unique and blended.
Really nice. Really worth trying.

On draft- into a snifter
Appearance- Pours a hazy yet vibrant orange, with one finger of creamy head, decent retention, with some nice lacing.
Smell- Wheaty and banana, notes of citrus, lemon and orange. Some spicey clove.
Taste- Very smooth overall up front. Strong orange flavors again, juicy mandarin, subtle lemon. Clove, coriander, yeast, your typical weizenbock flavors. Very pronounced banana on the finish. Nice balance throughout.
Mouthfeel- Medium body and carbonation, creamy, there is some slight “heat” to this as well.
Overall- A nice weizenbock, another nice effort by the boys at FFF. Is it as good as Vitus or Aventinus, no; but it is one of the better American versions I have had. Definitely worth trying if you see it pop up, as they are sending barrels of this out beyond the brewery!

From My Notes:
A- Very hazy yellow with good size white head.
S- Very crisp citrusy hop smell. Some banana notes mixed in towards the end.
T- The clove gives this beer a spicy flavor to it. Citrus hops all over the place. The banana flavor comes out pretty well, but the cloves really come out
M- Lighter on the body and moderate carbonation in the feel.
D- Lots of flavor in this year. I really enjoyed the clove spices

On tap at Fiddler's...live review. Thanks Jeremy for this one!
A- Pours a hazy golden orange color. Two finger white head show medium retention. Streaks of lace here and there mix with a spotty lace as well. Looks great!
S- Tons of banana and bubblegum upfront. There is a light clove in the middle with hints of alcohol. More banana and bubblegum on the backend.
T- I get a light pineapple juice upfront to this beer. This quickly turns into a smoothie banana flavor. Hint of bubblegum and alcohol in the middle. Banana come through in the backend times ten. There is a light metallic flavor that hints for a second before more fresh banana and hints of clove end this one up.
M- Medium heavy mouthfeel. Carbonation is good for the style. Bubblegum, banana, light metallic flavor is left on the palate. Aftertaste is banana, clove, and hints of alcohol. Flavors were blended very well for the style. Hint of metallic flavor in the ending is the only flaw in this beer. Medium alcohol drying on the palate.
O- This beer was a very nice drinking beer. Hell all FFF beers are great and this is just another example.
