Bottle from Beers of Europe. Clear light amber with small off-white head. Slightly dulled malty aroma but notes of banana, caramel and light hops. Taste of caramel, fruit cake, banana, orange zest, a building sweetness but has a good bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied but slick, average carbonation. Lacks some depth for the style and strength but I rather liked the simplicity. What there is was tasty and it went down well.

Weicher, süß herb-malziger Beginn. Die Süße bleibt eher mild, erst dezente, dann schnell stärker werdende Bitterkeit. Süffig, überraschend hopfig, weicher und langer Abgang. Gefällt. 8/10/11/10/7/11
