On draught at the brewery. Moderate (balanced) spice on the nose with lemon and cracker. Pours a hazy yellow-gold with full true white head of small bubbles that lingers and leaves great lacing. Strong spice and lemon continue in flavor with a chewy yeast and quick semi-dry finish. Sweet grain lingers long on he lips. Outstanding!

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is a nice proportionate blend of esters and phenolics with the esters driving. Some overripe pear, citrus, banana, a hint of apple and tropical fruit. Light peppercorn note to balance the fruitiness. A touch of honey hits you upfront. Pours a, cloudy, pale yellow gold with a white head that recedes very quickly leaving a film on the edges. Flavor has a nice fruity character. Lots of citrus and overripe tropical fruit. A hint of honey. A touch of banana. Moderate bitterness, but assertive. Some pepper flavor mid to late palate. Some light malt character - a touch of pilsner character. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied and a touch silky but finishes nice and dry. Moderate alcohol warmth. Light hop astringency. A nice beer an one of my favorite styles, but not my favorite from this brewery. The esters and phenolics are appropriately balanced, but I prefer the esters to be less banana and tropical fruit and more citrus. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
