Bottle shared at the Smoke from the Oak release by yobdoog I think. Pours a hazy dark amber with a bit of a white head. Yeasty, earthy, and grass notes. Piles of carbonation on this, turning every sip into a mouthful of foam initially. It eventually settles down and comes through with a nice sweet, spicy flavor. Finishes dry and crisp.

On tap at the brewpub. Served in a shaker pint glass. Pours a murky golden copper color with a 1/2" white head. Nice aroma of banana, yeast and clove spices. Very smooth, soft mouth feel. Flavor is same as nose with the basic weizen flavors of banana & cloves. Very good.

Bomber shared by glid02.
Pours a cloudy golden orange with a sizable white head that showed good retention and left only a trace of lacing.
The aroma has the typical Belgian yeast aroma of bubble gum and bananas with some cloves as well. Faint hints of hops and a light fruity sweetness.
The taste amps up the sweetness with the same bananas and light fruit as the aroma. There is hop kick up front with some apples and pears in the middle before some spices finish it off with a dry finish.
The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with lots of sticky sweetness.
I really enjoyed this one and it’s very, very drinkable. Thanks to Gregg for sharing.

On tap poured in my Imperial pint glass with a cloudy yellowish orange body. There was a large quickly dissipating white head that falls away to almost no lace
Aromas of Belgian yeast is strong along with the typical bananas and clove
Medium body and smooth on the tongue
I have been drinking a few of these this weekend getting ready for summer the experience have been quite pleasurable
I say this brew is a must try for any fans of the style
