330 ml bottle, from Lilland's off-licence. ABV is 4.7%. The glass fills completely by white foam, and the hazy golden beer appears only slowly. Aroma of yeast (far too yeasty), also notes of wheat and cloves. The flavour is also too yeasty, and moderately citric, notes of grain, hints of cloves. Still drinkable. Banana, yeast and grain in the aftertaste.
