3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 janir (215) - Oulu, FINLAND - MAY 3, 2008
Hazy, brown orange beer with big off-white head. Aroma is refreshing and sweet with a lot of banana, a bit yeast and just little bit alcohol can be observed. Banana is dominant in the flavor but not as much as in the aroma. Additionally flavor is a bit spicy. Aftertaste is watery and citric. Light-bodied and smoothly carbonated, a bit foamy palate is a bit watery in the end.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Lothore (276) - California, USA - APR 27, 2008
A- A cloudy copper brew pours out of this bottle with an amazing white pillowy head. From the looks of it, this beer is vigorously carbonated.
S- Smells of sweet bread, reminecent of walking by a good bakery. I get hints of fruit: orange, slight banana.
T- Tastes slightly sweet but not nearly as much as the nose lets on. Apricot and a minute taste of banana bread are present.
M- Very light and refreshing without being watery. Well carbonated.
D- This beer is extremely drinkable because it is so delicious and light. I could easily have a few on a summer day.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 MrBunn (2006) - Western, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 26, 2008
Bottle. Pour is a dingy and light brown color with a massive, fluffy head. Aromas are heavy on the cloves and spicey yeast notes with some banana mixed in and a little sawdust. Mouthfeel is kind of grainy/dusty which compliments the flavors of cloves and such. Still, it is a very light dunkel. Just a touch of a sourness to it helps to keep things interesting, but I’m not sold on this one.
