From a 640ml bottle on 25/8/2013 (shared by Butz with thanks) Pours a murky light amber with a smallish head. Wheat like and yeast notes dominate the aroma, with a fairly strong hint of banana and clove present. Flavour wise, does what it sets out to do, with some distinct hoppiness complementing a pleasant hefe. Has a quite a full body and modest carbonation. An unusual brew and very well integrated.

Pours dark amber with a large fading head.Nose shows banana, biscuity malt, doughy wheat, herbal and earthy hops and soft spicy cloves. Nice!Pretty hoppy flavours, but with the doughy wheat remaining along with more cookie dough-like sweet malt. A little clove too and earthy hops.Carbonation seems just a little full-on.

Bottle, 10C. Cloudy burnt orange with a large white head that lasts very well - still 2/3 inch after 500ml. Aroma is bready but vibrant with cloves, pepper, passionfruit, bubblegum, (thankfully for me) only a little banana. Medium bodied, quite high carbonation. Bready and chocolatey sweetness at first, then there’s a switchback-like turn towards tropical fruit, prickly spices (as mentioned, also menthol), resin and a bitter finish that has a wheaty tang that keeps it pretty much all together. Maybe the bitterness is a little high, but rambunctious and fun. [3.8] Growler from Dan’s Prahran. Don’t know how this is travelling in the bottle, but this is not so good. Seems to have thinned out, not really bready at all. Fruit seems to have all but disappeared. All that’s really left is brown sugary and bubblegum sweetness, plain bitterness and lots of cloves. Would be around 3ish, but leaving the score for what it was.
