500ml Can. Golden and slightly opaque. Loads of banana and esters on nose. That predominates in glass. I'm not getting much of the promised hops. I wonder if they've calmed a bit in the 7 weeks since packaging. Still very enjoyable.

Can. Long day, so can we take the rate in Dr Seuss format as read? Cloudy gold with an inch of white head that never quite disappears. Aroma of bananas (very ripe, verging on dried), oranges and lemons, sweet dough. 7- Not sure the bananas belong at all but there's less of them upon a taste - or at least the citrusy bitterness and a little booze counter them effectively. The finish is nice with increasingly punchy hops mingling with presumably yeasty spiciness. A bit below expectations but has things going for it.
