Growler picked up at the brewery for me by beastiefan2k. Pour is a hazed brown, copper ruby with pretty settling that created a nice one inch off-whte / tan head. Nice, sticky, lacing is left behind as the head falls. Aroma is initially banana yeastiness, sweet and ripe. Beneath is wheat. Taste is wheat, some caramel sweetness, and the banana sweet yeastiness from the nose. As Greg noted, there is also a peaty smokiness present in the beer that is interesting. Palate is medium, though is slickly drinkable too. The finish is a lot more of the smokiness, and is a dry ashiness which was really off-putting. Overall, a decent enough beer. Thanks for being my Free State mule, Eugene.
