Bottle @ home thanks to TheAlum for sending this my way! Pours a really nice, cloudy, light dull lemon yellow appearance with a lasting, creamy white head. Great head retention and appearance. The aroma is balanced a little more towards the spicy side (especially clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon) rather than the fruity side. There is some lemon in the nose along with some doughy yeast. Light bodied. Lightly tart. Some banana, lemon, and slight tropical fruit in the flavor. Creamy mouth feel. Kind of dull flavor - mostly tapioca and banana - but it is pretty refreshing. Mostly dry finish. Little on the aftertaste. Easy beer to pound but not overwhelmingly fulfilling.

Bottle. Hazy amber body. Frothy, off-white head. Big aroma of citrus, tropical fruits, toasted bread, grapefruit, pineapple. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, watery/velvety texture, just short of lively carbonation. Pine and resin take a back seat to the citrus qualities of the flavor which is nice. Solid.

Draft. Cloudy yellow with a frothy, white head. Classic (though light) aroma of clove, bubble gum, banana, but then there’s grainy wheat. The flavor moderately sweet, lightly bitter and lightly acidic. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet, lightly bitter and lightly acidic. Medium body, slick and thick texture, lively carbonation. The flavor is jumbled and disappointing. Lacking the sweetness and strong yeast flavors that devolve into some acidic tang.

Golden color. Very hoppy nose, that is fairly clean, a touch astringent. Lacking a bit of a backbone, moderately bitter, but nothing outstanding. Decent, straightforward pale ale.
