Pours a hazy, light banana-yellow, with smallish head. Aroma has some fruit, some cheese (seriously, it smells a lot like Swiss cheese). Flavor is interesting. There's some real astringency there, with citrus, a slight sweetness, some tropical fruit, and some bite to the finish. It must be the Rakau hops, which I don't believe I've come across before. Very interesting and tasty beer and glad I have another one to savor.
