Review and Tasting

Sampled on 10/04/2014

Appearance

(sample best before Feb.15) Clear, pale golden amber with moderate white head which quickly fades.

Aroma

New leather, honey, honey suckle and overripe banana.

Taste

Light bodied but with good malty cereal and banana chew fruity yeast. Great balance between fruit and hop bitterness.

Aftertaste

Lightly bitter hops with faint metallic note (not in a negative way). Sessionable, satisfying and thirst-quenching.
