Appearance: A huge pffft and though it is not a gusher, some spumes of foam emerge from the bottle; in the glass, it is a murky goldenstraw color with the head leaving massive quantities of lace behind
Smell: Very yeasty, with banana, clove, some fusel alcohol and a phenolic character
Taste: Stone fruit forward, with banana, clove and grassy flavors emerging; after the swallow, the phenols bring Band-Aids and there is fusel alcohol in the finish
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with high carbonation; warmth in the gullet
Overall: Quite a few flaws in this beer, unfortunately, that I cannot overlook even though it has some promising flavors, too
Thanks, bbpro47, for the opportunity

Appearance is a golden-orange with a finger of head that dissipated very quickly. There are both sweet and tart notes in the nose. The flavor profile is dry upfront with a modest sweetness and a touch of lemon on the finish. A good example of the style, but nothing terribly exciting by any means.
