Bottle from Redh. Appearance - cloudy yellow to orange. reamy coloured substantial head. Nose - huge banana note, light clove and nutmeg spice. Taste - brown banana, yeast and a hint of the spice on the end. Palate - close to medium bodied, creamy texture, still fairly sweet through the finish. Overall - good reproduction of the classic Bavarian style.

Keg at Tilly Shilling, Farnborough. Bitter banana aroma. Golden. Hazy but not overly so. Creamy but weak head. Served very cold which takes away from it, but a sharp bitterness is evident. Goes down very well, as smooth and light bodied. A real citrus kick in the dry finish. Not bad.

Keg at the Cyclist, Bright. It pours hazy amber with a medium white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, spicy, chai latter, clove, ginger, cracker, cereal and banana. The taste is bitter - sweet, wheat, bread, banana, clove rock, spicy ginger, cardamom, orange peel and dried fruit with a dry, spicy finish. Medium body and moderate, tight carbonation. Balance works rather well imo.

Bottle split at home, thanks to James, 27/11/14. Hazed golden orange with a decent off white covering. Nose is musty, spice, clove, light nana, orange peel. Taste comprises yeast tones, spice, straw, touch of banana, caramel. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation - a little overcooked, fairly astringent bitter tones in the close. So so meets passable, too bitter for the style.
