Pours yellow with a small head.Nose shows some doughy wheat and a bit of banana. Not bad really.More wheat as flavours but a little weak. Some grainy malt. A bit of spicy hops works well.Body feels a little light on.

Pours dark copper with a fading head.Aroma of green apples and gooseberries, lambic-style. Also some sweet malt underneath. Obviously not as intended.More traditional flavours with bready malt and some toasty notes too. A slight acidity remains of the infection.Body feels a bit watery.
