Same bottle as pictured. Poured light yellow with little head. Huge spicy yeast notes with light malty finish. Very good.

Un poco turbia,con buena espuma. Aroma a caramelo,banana y levadura. El final es un poco mas seco de lo que aparenta.

Enorm vitt skum och någonstans långt därunder finns en gyllengul lätt dimmig vätskan. I doften finns främst jäst, estrig, syrliga äpplen, mogen banan, koriander, nejlika och pomerans. Smaken är friskt syrlig, jästig, söt med en lätt markerad humlebeska på slutet. Lite vass kanske, men väldigt fruktig och lång fin eftersmak.

Bottle from Appellation. Pours a blonde colour with a thick white head. Aroma of barley, lemon, white pepper and caramel. Flavours of barley, chewy caramel, lemon and orange rind. Alcohol is fairly present. Nice chewy mouth-feel. Moderate carbonation with a little CO2 prickle of the roof of the mouth. Peppery finish. Very nice.

Bottle @ taste 10 cl. Hazy golden orange with a big white head. The aroma is sweet and spicy with distinct notes of yeast. The taste is spicy and fruity. Dry and bitter mouthfeel, and very acid litter.

Bottle. Nice banana aroma. Sustained head, nice carbonation. Cloudy yellow colour. Sweet fruits, cream, banana, nuts. Soft mouthfeel. Abv hidden. The closest I’ve come to drinking a banana cream pie. Great stuff.

Btl. 33 cl.: Enormous head - actually unable to pour it decently! Its lasting and a pale white colour. Golden coloured beer. Nose with a little dusty banana, melon. the dust note is little to overwhelming as is hides the fruity notes. fullbodied with medium body. Fruity with some light caramel - very pleasant and not like the nose. A bit puzzled over this beer!

Pours lightly golden. High and richly carbonated head. Aromas of alcohol, bananas, citrus Rich flavors for a blond. A bit both sweet and sour. Quite lame ending.
