On tap. Uploaded beer and sent in a picture. Pours a hazy deep brown hued body and a thing light brown cola head and good rings of lacing. Head fades slowly. Banana, wheat and nuts on the aroma. Slight hints of vanilla and vinegar. Clearly the same yeast profile as Franconias Hefe, which I happen to like a lot. Taste, hmm, a weizenbock. . .did not know this before hand. Taste is banana esters, a touch watery with toffee, chocolate, vanilla clove and yeast. A bit of vinegar and a good spicy yeast presence. Water to milk like consistency, a bit warming with light carbonation. Good long yeasty aftertaste. Of note, there is a light touch of funk or wild yeast or Brett in the aroma that I am sure is not suppose to be there. There is a very light off-sour note in the tastes. Infection? It does not distract from the positive qualities of this beer.
