(Can) Pours clear golden amber with small white head. Pleasant aroma with notes of crackers, banana, spice and funk. Light body with good carbonation. Pleasant taste. The start is gently citrus tart with some peppery notes. The tartness gives way to softer banana flavours with earthy notes. And these in turn give way to a spicy peppery pleasantly bitter finish. Very nice.

Can. Gold. Pretty much clear with an inch of white head that lasts OK. Aroma is earthy with crackers and spices. Light bodied, spritzy. Dry with just a little touch of lime as well as some earth, very slightly funky crackers, spices. Modestly bitter finish is decisive enough because it's pretty dry. Refreshing, quaffable.
