0.5l fliptop bottle courtesy of ogivlado who got it in a trade with Allen (thanks both!) Poured a lovely yellow-orange body, murky, witha big white, relatively thick head that went away at a medium pace. The nose is just as great, banana, herbs, some bubblegum and quite pleasant and pungent. The taste, however, is the ultimate letdown. The banana pops up again, being nice but then is cut short by an invasive dry finish. Yeah, some herbal notes pop up in there, cloves being more genuine than in the last 20 beers whose reviews I mentioned cloves in. Still, it gets cut off, along with the bubblegum and some lactic notes, by a quick bitter finish. Too dry to be refreshing, the taste is cut short to be pleasant. Overall, after the presentation, a disappointment. Ah well.
