Live Oak Primus

Suffers from the same mouthfeel as the Franconia Winter Wheat. It’s damn near the same beer,

(Draught) Pours a very murky medium to dark brown with a light ivory/brown 2 finger head that stays a long while with nice lacing. Nose has lots of smells that reminded me of a hefeweizen. Banana, clove and bready yeast. Also a nice sweet characteristic. Tastes absolutely delicious. Nice sweetness balanced with the malt sugars. Somewhat thick and viscous I felt it was a little thick for a wheat style beer even though this is a bock. It may have benefited from stronger carbonation, but still nice. Overall a little heavy to drink more than one, but the flavor is off the charts good.

Not sure why, but I didn’t take good notes on this beer beyond the numbers. Got either in a trade or while in Texas.

The appearance is cloudy and murky. Color is hard to describe. sorta like a murky tea maybe. The nose is that of straight up roasted bananas. Taste - Imagine taking a hefe beer and cooking it till its done per say. This is what you have a roasty, chocolate-covered banana. This thing was very easy to drink although I found myself ordering a different brew because I have had alot of bananas lately due to a diet change. Overall another dang good beer from Live Oak.

first thing that gets you after the brown murky texan treat is the chocolate banana aromas ... has a good tan cream head .. very authentic, touch of cloves, more choc and banananas ... very nice stuff .. had on tap @ the houston gingerman .. march 8th 1:30pm with scoobs (he had SS blonde bombshell)

On tap at the Gingerman. Cloudy brown with a decent off-white head. Aroma is of brown sugar, banana, malt, bread and yeast. Taste is of banana, apple, brown sugar and yeast. A little sticky in the mouthfeel.

On tap at the Gingerman in Ft. Worth. The smell is clove, banana, wheat, malts, and yeast. The look is cloudy brown in color with a nice beige lacing head. The taste is sugary, clove, banana, malts, and wheat.

Shaker glass served at BB Rovers on 2-20-09- Served non transparent black, one finger tan head. Hearty aroma of cloves, bananas, and even more cloves. Hits the mouth with a high-medium body, malt is present but is washed away by cloves, cloves in the middle, cloves on the end. I was expecting more, perhaps I was mistaking this brew for something else. Good, but... alot is lacking.
