Draught at 3 Tides, since debut, most recently on 7/18/15
Cloudy copper body has a very staunchly-retained, white head atop it.
Pretty wheaty aroma is dry, clean, watery (minerals) and finally yields clove and light banana. Malts are well-attenuated, adding only light white toast/crackers and just the slightest touch of honey/caramel. No alcohol or flaws.
Not tons of banana, but it’s definitely always in the background, while clove and spicy white pepper lead through the middle in to a bubble gum and light pale malt sugar finish. Medium carbonation for the style and a slick, watery, very drinkable texture. Not much to argue with here. Perhaps it’s not screaming with flavor, but it’s dry, balanced and yet well-malted enough. I suppose the aroma could stand to be a bit more lively/bright.
