  • Color: Medium Amber
  • Pours a cloudy medium amber color with a very thin head. Low retention on this beer as the head dissipates quickly and leaves just a thin ring of milky foam around the edges of the glass.

    Aroma is sweet and fruity. I am getting a bit of grain and yeast, with the fruit aroma reminding me of plums and a hint of banana and a bit of spice.

    Taste is really interesting. It follows the aroma pretty close. I am getting a dry semi-sweet, but yet slightly bitter plum and sour apple flavor. On the backend I am getting a mellow banana flavor with a hint of spice.

    Light body with medium carbonation. Dry on the palate.

    Overall a decent beer, but it is very different. I am enjoying this beer, but it is a bit odd, not really in a bad way, just different. Worth a try, but wouldn't have it all the time.
