Fourteen Ale

12 oz single from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Pour is a deeper orange color than I was expecting. Considering the ABV and the style, the head and lace are good and in that respect this looks better than I was expecting.
The nose is VERY, VERY alcoholic and banana liquer-like. Bubble-gum too.
The whole feel is like a cross between an Imperial Pilsner, a large Weizenbock and a fairly hot wheat beer of some description. Slick in the mouth but NOT as oily as the ABV would suggest. More huge bananas and alcoholic wheat based bubble-gum.
The drinkability is very good, but the alcohol restricts consumption in the final analysis.
An interesting beer that was more drinkable than I was expecting. It’s large but JUST pulls it off – a bit like Thirteen!
