Pours clear with effervescent liquid underneath a thick, white foam hat. Retention is outstanding with lacing that strolls back to level.
Aroma has spicey phenols, fruity esters, yeast, and sweetness/sugars. Not overly aromatic.
Taste is sweet throughout without really any hops to balance in the finish. Peppery with banana esters come through strong, staying on the tongue. Yeast plays along too.
Medium or better body with a spritzy carbonation. Dries the palate a bit.

Beer Notes
Brewed as a Belgian tripel but with American boldness, Panty Peeler is delicious yet spirited. Originally named Extreme Polar White Bier, it got nicknamed "Panty Peeler" along the way. Then we translated it to French for a while: E'pluche-culotte. Now we're back to calling it Panty Peeler and we've kicked up the coriander and orange peel to represent its original design.
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers." - Cliff Clavin, of Cheers
