2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Was expecting a lot for this beer based on the feedback from EBBC reviews. It poured and an amber gold and had a sparsely bubbled thin head, The aroma was very much banana and clove. To taste it then became full of apples and pears and some sticking plaster. It was quite thin bodied and dry which did make it easy to drink. The beer was nice, but not one id revisit.
