Draft at the brewpub! Nose of cloves, nutmeg, bananas, wheaty grain, and yeast. Murky yellow with a medium yellow tinged head with lightly laces the glass. Flavor of whet, bananas, spiciness, and very light bitterness. Finishes with a slight tinge of alcohol warmth. Can’t wait for the barrel aged version!

Growler shared by Irishboy, pours just a touch cloudy with a thin white head. Full nose of yeast, spice, clove and a touch of banana. Flavor is the same with a dry finish. The mouthfeel is a bit full but lively at the same time.

Growler, only one day old thanks to footbalm. Pours a clear golden color with a very large foamy white head. The aroma is nice; sweet spices, banana esters, cloves, nutmeg, grains. The flavor is sweet and easygoing despite the ABV; sweet sugary malts, lots of spices, a huge malt and fruity banana ester. A nice triple with a full mouthfeel. Very easy to drink. How am I the third rating of this beer? Utah in the house:)

Bottle courtesy of travita. Clouded yellow pour. Smells like grandfather’s hand soap. Wow takes me back. Also some tart scents in the smell. Taste is fairly smooth with a sweet grain fruit.

Bottle; poured an amber color with a smallish white head. Aroma was quite good and got better with some warmth; bubblegum, dry wheat, banana, yeast and fruit. Perhaps not the truest version of the style, but it was quite tasty. Alot of alcoholic notes, with yeast, banana and a bit of spice. Some vanilla like notes as well.

The smell is banana, belgian, yeast, and fruits. The look is clear, has a low off white head with good lacing. Golden in color. The taste is fruits, sweet, some alcohol, and yeast.

Dark golden with a small, white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, honey, some toast, spices, and alcohol. Taste of honey, candy sugar, toffee malts, some bready malt, and light alcohol in the finish.

Bottle thanks to travita. Gold pour with a white head. Aromas of dried fruits, yeast and spices. Smooth on the palate with flavors of apple, yeast and some spices.
