On tap at Three Floyds. Served in a weisse glass.
From the menu: our German-styled heller weizenbock, malty with hints of candied banana and clove. 20 IBU 9% ABV
Looks dark and cloudy. Just barely translucent. Nice white head has strong retention for the style, especially considering the ABV! Very thick lacing forms big rings.
The nose has big banana notes, lesser hints of clove, and a solid malty base-- caramel and bready.
The taste has some light sweetness upfront, then the fruity banana esters kick in. Clove comes across towards the backend, but the finish is really pretty clean. Something gives me a "Fruit Stripes Gum" note.
The body is full for the style. Ample carbonation lightens the feel up a tad. This works. It works well. This is an imperial version of a style that I don't normally pickup for myself, but it has plenty of flavor, a good feel, and enough ABV to sneak up on you!
Three Floyds pushes the boundaries-- successfully-- yet again.

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
