On tap at the San Fran location. Pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. A sweet nose of banana and malt. A smooth spicy flavor; hops and lots of banana esters with sweet malt. Pretty nice.

great times. it reminded me of a really good blue moon -- they described it as an octoberfest.

From tap at Monks Kettle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is dry malty and slight phenolic. Flat malty and vague grassy hops note. Dry malty finish.
