Appears a transparent light gold with a white cap that quickly fades out into a mild cap. Spotty bits of lacing are left around the glass.
Smell is of honey, bananas, pils malt, pear, and ripe dates.
Taste is of the honey, ripe pear, and ripe fruit, along with candied walnuts.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, doughy, yeasty, with mild bitterness in the finish.
I was surprised to see this one listed at 10.5% abv. I would’ve never known.
