Pours amber with a frothy fluffy white head. Aroma of slightly ferrous malt. Taste has lightly spiced malt, more ferrous notes, some dark woody and fruity elements. Palate has much of th same, more grain and ferrous notes. Good.

Can shared in Hackney - cheers to Seth. Pours unclear gold with a fleeting, foamy white head. Light-medium sweet flavour with nice fluffy wheat biscuits, bits of banana, clove. Light bodied with average carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, pleasant wheaty sweetness, some dough, banana. Very tasty.

Tap at Dukes Grocery, Washington DC. Strong on the bananan in both aroma nd taste. Not as golden as one would hope. Easy ending. Pretty lovely I think.

On tap at DC Brau, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out clove, banana and bubblegum. Flavour is loaded with bubblegum upfront, followed by lots of banana esters and a touch of clove. Decently enough constructed; I just can't stand hefs.
