Review and Tasting

Sampled on 04/12/2012

Appearance:

Cloudy, amber with huge but quickly diminishing beige head leaving little lacing.

Aroma:

Overripe banana, caramel, yeasty (think Marmite) old leather .

Taste:

Banana chew flavours add fruitness to a heavily carbonated and generously malty palate.

Aftertaste:

The stewed fruity malty finish has cider-like apple notes.
