Florals and cirrus. Coriander. Golden pour with decent head. Golden pour with decent head. Light sweet end - perhaps a touch too sweet for style. Decent balance. Tap.

On tap at Clouds, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of candied sugars, fruity esters and alcohol. Flavour is along the same lines, with candied sugar, alcohol and fruity esters. Inauthentic, as it's very sweet and estery, but it's okay.

Tap at brewpub. Golden colour, medium-sized white head. Aroma has some banana, light spices. Medium-bodied. Pale malts, some banana, spiceyness, alcohol. Quite simple and alcoholic.
