7 October 2022. At Yard House, San Antonio. Shared with the lovely Anke!

Hazy yellow, thin, off-white head. Aroma of ripe banana, apple, nutmeg, clove, dough, honey. Taste has sweet banana & apple in a bready & honeyish malt body surrounded by spicy clove and wheaty notes. Floral hoppy finish, a tad peppery; lingering spices & yellow fruit. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Solid example of the style, nice!

On tap at the brewery. Pours a cloudy gold with medium white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is grain and straw. Thin body, grain, straw, grass, light crisp finish, very good.

1 October 2022. At Texas Craft Beer Festival. Shared with the lovely Anke!

A: clear pale golden, thin, off-white head.
A: apple peel, potato, jute, straw.
T: restrainedly sweetish apple, grain, wheat, minerals.
F: soft grassy hops, some bitter straw.
P: light to medium body, slick texture, average carbonation.
Low ABV and body effectively underwhelming the taste sensation here, too bad. Hardly any smoke.

Can - clear copper - lively carbonation with a thick head - clean rendition, with medium sweet caramelized malt richness, followed by drier notes of crusty bread and moderate bitterness on the tail end - sweetness level gets closer to a maibock at times, but overall I enjoy it.

12oz can at share. Clear golden pour with a small frothy white head. Aroma is straighforward grains with notes of citrus. Taste is simple bready malts, lemon towards the back and a light bitter finish.
