Tap at CBM Koenji. Quite smoky, or at least I got a sausage taste along with the wheat. Fruity, cherry, and bit of a boozy kick. Surprising given the %. Taste has light spice wheat, tiny bit of banana and cream.

Banana, clove and light caramel notes. Some banana bread with raisin comes out as it warms. Body is a little too thin and boozy. Lingering pepper and spiced finish, but not overpowering. Sweet, but not cloying.

Deep, dark golden yellow, cloudy as hell, slightly glowing, slight orange tint. Very low head. Sweet, cake-like aroma of banana, cloves, wheat malt, a touch of citrus. Tangy, sweet-citrus flavor, banana, clove, bitterness from hop I suppose, plus something a bit medicinal. Marachino cherries too. More bitterness than expected, and very complex, but a little unsure of itself and chaotic. Light palate. Not very carbonated. Interesting, but a bit strange.

Brownish copper color, malty nose with cloves, oranges and a touch of rich caramel. It is lighter than I expected for the style with some interesting coriander and spices in the mouth and dry warming finish. This is much more phenolic. Smooth body, lots of bananas and cloves. Full body. Well balanced. Nice stuff
