Creamy gold, frothy head. Surprisingly wan aroma. What’s there is singularly of bananas - very fruity, no cloviness. Flavor is subdued malt, seemingly without a great deal of wheat character. Fruitiness doesn’t carry over greatly into the flavor. Overbittered.

On tap @ Auburn Alehouse:Pale yellow with just a touch of cloudiness. A very light wheat sweetness, not much wheat, more a half pils, half wheat. Fair.
