Undated can drunk 6/21/21.
Clear, heller weizenbock-looking (nice, I like those more than the dark), deep brassy-amber with a ridiculous amount of light beige head that shows strong retention.
Dry clove, minimal banana and some softer, mineral-heavy notes with light pepper in the background, comprise the aroma. Some fruitiness in there as well (pear, apple, strawberry). Pretty nice and restrained. Maybe its the age, but there's no domineering phenols/esters here.
Lightly sweet in the mouth with a pretty well-developed malt character showing honey and vanilla. Light citrus, banana and apple/pear with a lingering white pepper/light clove character that dries out the finish. Quite clean, no alcohol noted. Nice! Will definitely try more from these guys.

Can at home. Like the can design. Orange brew thick looking but not sludgy. Nose is banana and wheat. Tastes of wheat, banana, plum, pear. Reminds me of an umeshu sake. Medium bodied. Not overly sweet for style that’s appreciated.
