Got this as I hadn’t had any North Island beers in awhile and it was on sale so I had to pull the trigger! Banana candy and cloves in the aroma and taste with a chewy body that has a crisp dry finish. Solid stuff.

Bottle. Light gold colour, small white head. Aroma is little bit spicy, just a touch of banana, wheaty. Taste is nice, quite subtle, grainy, little bit fruity too, berries, bit tropical. Nice dry and crisp, slightly biter finish. Different from how I was expecting, and very drinkable.

On tap at The Lower Right, Tokyo. Pours golden, white head. Fruity, banana, wheat, spicy, bready. Light to medium bodied. Nothing too special, but a decent hefe.

On tap at Devil Craft Hamamatsucho, Tokyo. Hazy pale golden with a modest, white head. Fruity and wheaty aroma with notes of slightly greenish bananas, cloves and hints of citrus and yeast. Moderate to medium sweet with some acidity and a yeasty and slightly spicy finish. Refreshing and pretty tasty.

Draught at Beer Republic. Pale gold, tall, fine head. Lightly cloudy. Aroma of banana, clove, lemon, wheat and grains. Light malt flavor, clove, pepper, citrus. Clean and rather lean. Not much happening, but drinkable and refreshing, and better as it warmed.

Thick white head. Clovely banana nose, but lacks body. Despite this, the rest is well done so it just ends up making it dangerously drinkable, but too light for the style.
