| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 19, 2009 Last time I had this was with food, and it’s a bit much for a companion to a barbecue sandwich (that’s pulled pork and vinegar, to all you non-North Carolinians). Surprised me this time around on its own. Bright, slightly hazy golden pour with frothy white head. Nose of esters, yeast, herby basil notes, lemon, and some banana. Similar on the palate and some added tea notes. A bit of alcohol showing through. Quite good, especially considering the price. ChristianScheffel (4529), Odense, Denmark

Aroma is yeasty with citrus, a little banana and spicy phenols. Dry, phenolic spicy flavour, some fruityness, a hint of alcohol and herbal hops in the finish.
