Very clear copper and amber coloured body with a large, six to seven centimetre tall perfectly pure white head that fades very slowly and leaves a beautifully microfoamed glaze on the top of the beer. Aroma of alcohol, honey, caster sugar, grain, bananas, cloves and a bunch of wheat - very nice in the nose and incredibly pungent. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich honey and sweet notes dominate with a lot of wheat, yeast, bread and even slightly nutty finish with a lot of herbal aspects and a great sweetness that even hits some spice on the very end. Aftertaste is rich but relatively neutral with a lot of sugars and some pungent malts, wheats and especially yeast aspects - very sweet, but polished with honey and fairly easy drinking considering the alcohol - this one seems like it's been aged for a while which is why it's so nice and easy-going. I sampled this 65 cL bottle, purchased from Silver Gulch [brewery] in Anchorage Airport (ANC) a few minutes before leaving for my flight on 02-July-2021 for US$7,99 sampled in my hotel room here in DFW, Dallas, Texas on 03-July-2021 after returning to the lower 48 after my vacation.
