Poured up copper with off white head. The aroma has a pleasing mix of malts, roasted malts, spicy hops, citrus hops and smooth banana notes. The taste is similar as firm tasty fresh crisp citrus and spicy hops hit up front followed by malty and mildly roasted malt notes join in to midway. Toward the finish a touch of yeasty esters, faint smooth sweet banana and spicy yeast are noticed well below the hops and the malts. Lovely hop forward Amber with an interesting yeasty touch.

On tap. Smelled of heavy yeast and spices; clove mainly. Nice dark amber color with white fluffy head. Taste was semi-malty and yeasty with hops and a quite bitter finish. Some banana and spice in the flavor, too with a complex malt profile. Interesting style that was pretty good.

Pours deep copper, no head. Nose is tart citrus, yeast, hints of clove. Flavor is sharp tartness, subtle tannins, citrus, caramel, bread, yeast. Interesting beer. Not what i expected.
