A: The pour is a nice golden color with perhaps some hints of orange and a nice big white head. S: Lots of sweet, light fruits to the nose. I get some sweet apples, pears, and some bananas. A nice bready, yeastiness to it as well, and some mild spice esters. T: The flavor is quite sweet, mostly from the fruit character. Good sweet pears and apples pair nicely with the spice esters from the yeast. The maltiness is moderate and slightly bready with just a touch of bitterness. A bit of a sweet citrus and a fair amount of tropical fruits start to come through as the beer warms up. M: The body is medium and the carbonation is fairly high. D: This was one of the surprising beers of the day. I really enjoyed it and found it very enjoyable and easy to drink.

hazy golden color/ lasting white head. Nice dry hay, pils malt, dry spice aromas. light frothy mouthfeel. Very nice lightly sweet pale malt, honey flavors with dry hay, spices. dry bitter finish.

Hazy golden with a creamy white head. Nice orange and citrus aroma and taste with lingering stone fruit and floral notes.

Apparently whoever entered this was too drunk to put in the "h" in "shell". Draft. Hazy golden yellow, creamy white head. Candy sugar, lots of banana, belgian yeast. Not much in the way of spice, maybe a slight bit of clove. Basically a strong tripel, not my thing.

Hazy pale yellow with a large off white head. Sweet and yeasty aroma with orange, lemons and hints of coriander. Flavour came out fairly dry with yeast, oranges, coriander and wheat. Finished dry and spicy.

(Draught) Pours a lightly hazy yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of coriander, banana, subtle pepper, clove, and some citrus. Flavor of banana, coriander, wheat, and candi sugar.
