May 15, 2008 Caramel brown, with a fluffy off-white head. Pretty. Wheat & banana aroma was very nice. Flavor doesn’t match the visual and the aromas unfortunately. Detected some burned toffee but not a whole lot else- sweet and a bit watery. Not bad, but nothing special.

May 11, 2008 Uhhh . . . pour looked like murky iced tea. About the same mouthfeel. Yeasty nose. Wheat and malts on the tongue. Pretty unremarkable. Not bad, just boring.

May 1, 2008 Cloudy brown cidery appearance with plush foam head that is slightly tanned. Nice yeasty aroma of mild chocolate and wheat and clove with a tiny bit of banana. Quite well-rounded and pleasing. Easy flavor of wheat and yeast with perfect medium body. Mild phenolics. Flavor tails off a bit and finishes on a green banana note.

Apr 28, 2008 [Bottle, thanks JK] Pours hazy amber-brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is big on yeast with some banana also present. Taste is largely the same but with more malt than what I noticed in the aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a long finish. A fairly average, but enjoyable beer.
