Flying Dog tasting room. Pours cloudy bronze with a tall foamy head, some lacing. Wheat, banana yeast and malt (cookie) aromas. Sweet wheat and bitter yeast hop flaovr with banana and clove notes, faint vanilla. Medium bodied, warm and fizzy slightly creamy palate.

Spectacular off-white head breaks into laces over laces over the murky brownish amber shade. Fully phenolic nose, heavy on the bananas, definitely fruity yeastiness, medicinal, figgy and even meaty. Limited malt complexity, caramelic, but not much else. Medium body, foamy palate remains quite sweet, yet there’s a good dose of spicy bitterness. Not bad!

UPDATED: APR 11, 2007 Bottle. Head is initially small, fizzy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy medium to dark amber. Aroma is moderately malty (toasted bread, cookie), with notes of banana, lemon juice, and clove, hint of metal. Flavor is heavily sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Medium to full body, watery/syrupy texture, soft carbonation. Simple aroma and much too sweet to be enjoyable for me. Had this at GABF 2005, and again later from bottle, same score both times.
