500ml bottle. Clear, yellow-ish, golden colour with average, thin, creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, snow-white head. Yeasty spicy, slightly yeasty, fruity, phenolic aroma, sweet-ish notes of banana, papaya, some vanilla, wheat malt, whiffs of clove and aniseed. Taste is surprisingly dry (or better, non-sweet), yeasty fruity and yeasty spicy, wheaty malty, hints of banana, dried banana, some vanilla, clove, whiffs of aniseed; slightly bitter and minimally leafy, hoppy counterpart. Creamy texture, smooth and soft palate, fine and soft carbonation. Well contolled sweetness, relatively clean yeasty spiciness (no peppery flavours), a bit monotonous - not bad, not overly exciting.

Bottle picked up from Biervana München and consumed at home Saturday 12th December 2020 listening to Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show on 6 Music. We had Picadillo (Mexican Chile) and a Mole Pours copper in colour with a white head, sweetness shows from the off, malty base, caramel and toffee tend to push any interesting fruitiness to one side, it's ok but I am left it little disappointed that the hops are not displaying better here.
