4.2/5  rDev +15.1%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4.25
Look: The beer is a medium-amber, with a nice haze and fast rising bubbles. The head was rather thin but stayed around the collar.

Smell: Not a ton of aromas, no real hop or alcohol smells. A smell of biscuits and bananas with a hint of vanilla and spice.

Taste: No detectable alcohol flavor and a very restrained bitterness from citrus flavors. A yeasty flavor up front not overly sweet. A hint of cloves.

Feel: Has a short finish and coats the mouth. A slight drying quality to it and noticeable carbonation.

(draft, Quinn's, Long Beach CA) has that mushroomy/yeasty thing going on which is the only familiar thing about it. Overall, pretty bland and a bit boring, but not terrible (2.6)

Serving type: on tap at my annual work Christmas party

Pours a murky orange amber. Smells of bread, bubblegum, banana, clove, fresh baked bread, and slightly spiced. Taste reflects the smell well, initial bread/banana tastes flow into a slightly clove bread taste. Flavor coats the mouth. Mouthfeel is light, fluffy, and pleasant. Overall, this is a very pleasant beer with good qualities all around that I would have again.

Yeasty, heavy citrus followed by some clove and a little banana in the finish. Very lacking in body and mouth feel and is definitely over carbonated. This beer has an unreasonably high rating here, it ranks similarly to Erdinger at an 83 and Erdinger is far tastier.
