Can from Yamaya. Nose is chocolate, banana, clove. Mostly a cocoa-like chocolate. Rather simple. Cloudy brown-orange with a medium head. Cloves, banana, chocolate flavor, rather orthodox, nice cocoa or fudge. Slightly tangy finish. Light body, not very rich. Nice enough. Better than a lot of the stuff they have been putting out lately, though nothing to get too excited about.

Fairly fruity for the style. Modestly refreshing. Body is limp. Pretty boring.

Can from my local Natural Lawson. Pours yellow, light haze, quickly disappearing head. Nose is more like a weizen nose, some wheat acidity and lots of banana yeast. Drinks lighter than weizen though, stil wheaty and creamy with some spices and a bit of banana - but more sessionable. Kind of like session weizen? Does not really feel like a kölsch at all, also relatively simple - but otherwise not a bad brew.

Weird 33cl blue glass bottle at Haikan in DC. Drank from the bottle, so who knows. Nose is medium esters, what you expect, bubblegum and clove, some orange and grass too. Flavor is tpale grist and dough, orange, clove, banana, chewed bubblegum. Finishes off dry. Fine.

Can sample at a tasting at troubles' place. Thanks Lior D. Cloudy yellow. Fruity esters, bread, some phenolic spiciness, sweet, lots of bubblegum, light sourish note, bitterish hint in the finish, light to medium-bodied. OK. Easy-drinking.
