Dark Golden with a cloudy appearance. The flavor boasts a strong, rich lineup of Bananas, Cloves, Caramel, Barley, Rye, Yeasts, and Floral Hops. The body comes off as a bit too watery for this style of beer, but it’s still quite drinkable and mildy crisp thanks to the carbonation. I’ll just close by saying that it’s beers like these that have very limited distribution that make me glad I made the move back to Minnesota.

Bottle via a trade. Pours with a very minimal, fading white head. Hazed golden hued body. Aromas show a nice yeast character, musty, earthy, pear, mild phenols of clove, black pepper and allspice. Flavors are peppery, mild phenol, clove, spice, lively, dry with a slight grainy malt character. Lively bubbles, dry, grainy and bready. Medium, alcohol. Very decent.

Bottle to Duvel glass. Pours golden with a lively carbonation that rest to a white film. Aroma is sweet fruity bubblegum floral yeast. Taste is spice bubblegum a little artificial banana and belgian yeast with a warming finish. Palate is medium and slick with a dry warming finish.

(bottle) Pours a clear light gold with a very thin white head. Aroma of banana, pale malt, honey butter spread over toast, pears, must, and a subdued floral element. Pretty good, it just needs to warm up a bit before the scents emerge. The flavor possesses plenty of banana, pale malt sweetness, slight butter, allspice, and a lingering stale bread crust finish coupled with a moderate bitterness. Little heat shows up here, but it’s not intrusive. I believe this is the only Flat Earth beer I’ve had that wasn’t carbonated to high hell, so I must give the palate a 4 for breaking that trend. Overall this is a decent beer, but the high asking price will not prompt a repeat purchase.

Golden coloured, a to small head. Sweet honey, malty, spiced, citrus, caramel. A bit to sweet, a bit sirupy, I would like some harder carbonation. But no bad at all.

Bottle (65 cl) from the Cracked KettleClear golden, smal white head. Nutty almond aroma with wheat, jasmine, and pears. A bit alcoholic. Dry with low bitterness. Quite good.

Bomber from Cracked Kettle. Nice clear golden color, small white head. Aroma’s of sweet fruit, some alcohol, sweetbread. Flavor is rather sweet, especially for a triple, and there’s more sweet fruit. A very light bitter finish, and then there’s some honey as well. Not bad, but overall a bit too sweet for my liking.

Tap at Barley Johns. Pours a hazy light golden with a thin white head. Sweet, fruity aroma with hints of malt, bread, and banana. Sweet, bready flavor with plenty of sugary, malty notes and hints of cloves, coriander, banana, citrus, and honey. Medium bodied and medium carbonation with soem alcohol noticeable though not harsh. Very tasty brew.

On tap at Stub and Herbs. Poured a clear pale gold with a white head that dissipated to the edges and laced slightly. Aroma was full of fruity esters with sweet grains and a hint of backing honey and clove. Flavor was full of honey and sweet grains with a bit of a slight floral and light fruit note in the finish.

On tap. Pour is clear golden yellow color. Light yeasty aroma with light floral notes. Taste is sweet with slight spice character. Small bitterness in the finish. No real honey present. Slightly thin.
