Head is mostly diminishing.

Aroma is moderately malty (caramel, cookie), with notes of banana and clove.
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter.
Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
Man, you could have told me this was their Dunkelweizen and I would have believed you. It’s no abbey single, that’s for certain. A dubbel is even a stretch. Just a generic, sweet, banana-clove brown ale IMHO. It’s ok but there’s not much abbey about it.
