Cloudy golden yellow with moderate white head and effervescence. Banana, orange, clove, wheat malt, and straw aroma. Moderately sweet banana, orange, clove, wheat malt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Good body. Not bad - a bit clove heavy.

Mostly some florals here, which is kind of odd. Pours hazy golden with decent head and lacing. Light sweet finish. Easy going. Snally.

Pretty basic kolsch. Far from being within the style. Meh

Mellow smoke character, toasted bread, earth. There are some tangy-fruit kind of notes that seem off - perhaps suggestive of an infection. Could be good but seems out of shape.

Tap at GTMW. Eaten up, dried out, but a nice natural strawberry tone is still there. Delicate. Good.
