Bottle, 5.0%. Quite clovey and citric flavour. Also quite sweet. Cloudy pale yellow colour. White head. Teaish aftertaste. Promising at first, but the flavour fades away in the finish.

Cloudy blond color, no head; it has anyway a persistent perlage. Aroma of banana candies and chewing-gum. It has a sweetish flavor, with very light wheat, some banana, no spices, almost no bitterness. If you hate beer, you like this.

Light gold. Hazy. Assertive yeast - banana, bread, foot and something like a lime or kumquat citrus note. The body is somewhat thin and a bit spritzy at the back. Malt leads with banana and faint footiness. Sort of a minty herbal thing going on...maybe clover honey...but it’s fairly vague, a suggestion more than a flavour.
