Sep 2, 2008 An odd mud color, different than anything I’ve seen before. A wonderful slap of the banana/clove from the Hefe yeast. The waitress described it as a mix of the ESB and the hefe, but this was easily better than both of those. Very different and excellent.

Oct 13, 2007 Nice and smooth but unmemorable at the same time. I have not tried this one in years, and since they changed the yeast I will try to return and re-rate.

Jul 29, 2007 (Draught) Pours a deep mahogany body beneath a thin, dissipated, frothy tan head. Nose of decent banana esters. Good toasted malt flavour with no hop detection. Unfortunately, this is filtered and I don’t know why???? I like to see the wheaty floaties and added body.

Jul 26, 2007 Draught sample at brewpub. Light banana clove aroma infused with a malty balsamic tang. Light chocolate, neutral fruit and mild hops. Dark brown-red clear with off-white lacing head. Medium body wtih medium carbonation. Starts with good wheaty malt and a bit of banana and clove. Definite tang to it, balsamic? or something similar. Cherrywood and light tannic notes. Mild chalky bitter finish and tangy sweet after.
