I’m quite surprised to have found out that this SOB is 8%. 4 oz draught sample at the Buffalo Brewfest. Massively cloudy bright golden beer, dense white head that left a crap ton of lacing. Moderate aroma, wheaty, plenty of banana with a touch of lemon and clove. Pretty full flavored, clovey, some citrus, again plenty of yeasty banana. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation. Very easy drinking here. Solid.

Oct 3, 2008 A hazy yellow-gold beer with nice presence in the glass. Aromas balance the clove and ginger spices with a soft fruit. The power of this beer is apparent when you taste the flavors and how well they are punched-up by the alcohol. Mealy bananas and nicely bitter hops. This is a well-crafted beer with lots of character. Not too dry on the finish.

Oct 3, 2008 Sample from bomber, courtesy GodofThunder. Cloudy light wheat color. Big spicy cloves, coriander and banana aroma. Smooth wheat and spice taste, very big. Southern Tier makes some big beers and this is a great example of what they do well.

Oct 2, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours a hazed, deep golden color with a faint orange tint. Tons of yeast, banana and citrus on the nose. Flavor was yeasty with some citrus and hop undertones. Finish was very clean and crisp, light/ medium body.

Sep 29, 2008 I picked upa bomber of this at the Binny-apostrophe-s Beverage Depot in Orland Park, IL. It poured a fairly clear golden body with a tall head that left rings of lace showing how big your last gulp was. It had an aroma of bananas - both fresh and old - and lemon grass with a suggestion of alcohol. Add a big chunk of clove to the flavor along with an increased alcohol presence. Alight lemony bitterness joins in at the finish. Nice.
