Imported from my RateBeer account as BIIR California (ESB) (by BIIR):
Aroma: 6/10, Appearance: 4/5, Taste: 6/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 11/20, MyTotalScore: 3/5
28/XI/15 - 33cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ home - BB: 7/V/17 (2015-1672)
Clear blond beer, big frothy off-white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving some lacing. Aroma: sweet, banana, bit fruity, rubbery, band-aid touch. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: yeasty character up front, pretty harsh bitterness, bit metallic, some banana. Aftertaste: very bitter, grapefruit touch, metallic, very unpleasant and medicinal bitterness, hint of exotic fruits. Was expecting more of this one... Am I too demanding?
