Can ordered from Elusive. Aroma first and foremost has what I'd expect from the Hefe - banana and cloves with a (banana)bread element. But, yeah, there are some polite cherries. Opaque cloudy chestnut. Thick foamy off-white head. Oohhh... the cherries are more evident in the flava, bringing a tart but sweet element to the party. This mixes well with the doughy, banana and cloves. Although it's all pretty retrained... light. The tangy sour cherries finish the show. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Slips down... compared to some of these which tend to be heavier in my experience.

Can bought at Elusive. I wish I had a pie but alas I do not. Aroma had berries, caramel malts and, shock horror, spice. Clear dark amber. Fluffy foamy off-white head. Medium bitter. Peppery but not overly so. Underlying berries and malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. An unexciting bitter that is not particularly lifted by the pepper. I would still like a steak and ale pie.
