Bottle. Pours a hazy gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of sweet grains with backing light fruit and light spice. Flavor starts with sweet grain and banana and finishes with a bi of a grassy note.

Purchased at Half Acre in Chicago, IL; enjoyed at home prior to leaving for Germany. Appearance is a semi cloudy gold with a thin frothy white head. Aroma is a very pronounced yeast, like the bottom of a fermenting bucket, along with a bit of hay / light malt with a bit of spice. Taste is unique, not good or bad, yeast still a bit prevalent, but clove notes come out a bit more and there is a light burn in the back end from the ABV content. Definitely finishes very dry, almost like a cider from a consistency standpoint. Interesting, definitely not my favorite Half Acre brew though.
