Beerdedone (1873), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 24, 2006 On Draft at brewery. Pours bronze with a small off-white head. Aroma of citrus, bananas, spices, and caramel. Flavor is the same as the aroma, good body, great brew. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA Aug 1, 2005 Pint at the brewpub. No head, though there’s a touch of lace, atop a clear root-beer body...aroma of proper banana, clove, with some maple and caramel thrown in for added gooey sweetness, a bit much but I’ve got the sweet nose and like it....body at first lusciously sweet, carbonation fairly heavy to compensate, with some interesting herbal-cola characteristics, light fruity esters...could be fuller, and inappropriate rather strong alcohol notes diminish the potential, also seems a bit too clean, filtered? No-no for a wheat beer! Anyway, a mixed bag.
