Bottle from mane liquor. Pours a golden orange which has an evident high carbonation, lots of fizz arising. Nose is sour apples and yeast. Taste is ruined by the carbonation just overly sour fizz in the mouth. Gave my old man a sip he spat it out with the use of obscene language. Pretty shit and Not my type of beer ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle- Pours a slightly hazy copper color with a fair head that fades to bits of lacing. Atoma of fruit, mostly banana and a fruity sweetness. Taste is of banana and a syrupy sweetness. A mild bitterness and a fairly clean finish. Fairly light body, smooth and a bit sweet. Decent beer, but not one I would seek out.

UPDATED: AUG 15, 2012 Draught at Archive Beer Boutique, Brisbane. Poured a cloudy honey amber colour with virtually no head, and what there was diminished very quickly. Very very low carbonation. Aroma was banana-like. Taste showed a hint of sour lemon, a very slight trace of hops bitterness all followed by a sweet banana-like flavour. Smooth finish. Light to medium body.

A-- Poured a dark cloudy gold color. Small, short lived white head that became film. Some, but not much head retention. S-- Really nice banana and clove smell. Banana really stands out nicely followed by clove. A little bit of brown sugar with the banana smell. Thought of banana fosters right off the bat. T-- Clove and ripened banana. A little bit of a brown sugar taste but the ripened banana taste dominates. M-- Medium to high carbonation and creamy. A tad bit of lemon acid to this as well. Does get a little watery though.

Pours a typical hazy colour with little real head, On the nose it boasted a lovely bouquet of clove and bubblegum, however it tasted rather watery, plain and uninteresting.

On tap. Interesting beer. Aromas of citrus, banana, and leaves. Taste is sweet, with some tartness. Palate is oily, with a medium body. Dark yellow and cloudy.

Bottle. Pours a sparkling golden amber with beige coloured head. Head disappears very quickly leaving bugger all lacing. Not really what I was expecting. Aromas of yeast and sour apples. Taste of sour apples and little else. Dont really like this one.

UPDATED: JUL 8, 2011 Bottle. Hazy orangey amber with a very modest white head. Lemony aroma with tart apples and a little wheaty bread. Watery - no liquid bread here. Taste has some apples and pears and lemony sourness. Nothing much in the way of banana or spices, although there’s a little white pepper. Odd, but refreshing. [2.5]

Tap. Hazy orange amber, white head. Aroma has lots of banana, some vanilla and cloves. Quite bready with vanilla, slight lemony tartness, cloves. Completely different and much better, but this time too much banana for me.

Bottle. Hazy golden orange pour with a disappearing loose white head. Aroma has notes of apple and banana with hints of yeast and spice. Flavour is also quite fruity with pear and pineapple notes along with the apple and banana. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation and a longish dry, spicy finish. This not being my favourite style I may not be the best judge, but I thought this wasn’t too bad. A little on the fruity side perhaps but quite acceptable, especially in warm weather.

From a 330ml bottle on 14/9/2010. Moderate aroma of banana and sugar. Flavour wise, there’s not too much going on. There’s a hint of hefe spice and banana. It’s milky in texture, quite sweet and has little to offer on the bitterness front. A fairly ordinary effort.
