Bottle. Hazy rich amber/caramel with a nice tan head. Sweet malt, wheat, banana, clove aroma. Caramel, wheat, and light fruit flavor. Medium bodied. Lingering caramel and light fruit. Not bad, but nothing special.

Cloudy brown. Lots of yeast. Wheat and banana aroma. A little rough on the palate, with sweet flavors of wheat, banana, and light citrus. Good.

12 oz bottle from Trader Joes; Nose of toffee, banana, and spices; murky brown with a small tan head; flavor has banana, brown sugar, and cloves and ginger (just like I put in the pumpkin pies I baked this morning!) Tastes almost like a pumpkin beer without the pumpkin. Enjoyable here on Christmas Day!

Bottle from Trader Joes. Aroma of caramel, bread, and perhaps banana. Hazy ripe apricot flesh color (if held in front of strong light) with a beige head that lasted awhile. Rather thin bodied with fizzy/creamy carbonation. Definitely starts with clove and bread, and some banana comes along in a bit. The impact is somewhat spicey. The finish is fairly dry and lightly bitter in a herb/spice way. Tasty and good value.
