Can from my man Justin, carried back from TX. Lemony wheat nose, cloves and apricots. Cloudy pastel yellow with lace. Rich whaet flavor, clove, light banana, orange, stone fruit. Rather oily, very low carbonation. Almost flat. Nicely spicy finish. Seems a bit old, but don’t see a date. Tasty, though not up there with the best, imo.

Thanks James for the can! Poured into a snifter showing well filtered dark orange with a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows moderately intense notes of biscuit, black tea, and bready malt. The palate is light bodied and well but very smoothly carbonated. Perfect light bready biscuits throughout finishing with a lightly sharp pilsner bitter finish on the end. Corn malts reappearing on the resurgence on the end.

12oz can. Unfiltered bright yellow-tan body. Thin but fading head. An enjoyable beer. Medium bodied. Restrained but present yeast tones...could use just a hint more of banana character..clove too. Either way it is hyper sessionable, clean, well done. Solid beer.
