Appearance: hazy pale straw with two fingers of fluffy white head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: banana, bready wheat, clove, light plastic bandaid. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter, light spice. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration finish. (3/5)
There’s a slight phenol edge on the front end, but it fades relatively quickly, leaving a banana, bready, and spice note. Fairly easy-drinking, with balanced spice. (14/20)
