Crystal clear, deep yellow lager. Small, off-white, fizzy head. Honey, cinnamon, yeast and banana in the aroma. Some peach as well. The flavor is very sweet and malty up front with notes of honey and corn. Astringent, lightly bitter and sweet (too sweet) on the backside. No real attempt at balance.
