Cloudy gold, moderate white head of average retention. Aroma: dried banana, wheat bread, vomit, overripe apples. light to medium body. Taste: Medium sweet, exaggerated banana, wheat bread, distant clove. No to low bitterness. I don't know, what's the point in overdueing one component of a well-proved classic combination. A waste of time and money.
