20oz pint at the brewpub.
This beer appears a lightly hazy, medium golden yellow hue, with one fat finger of tightly foamy, and generally creamy off-white head, which leaves some pleasant swaths of limestone cliff face lace around the glass as it slowly recedes.
It smells of gritty, semi-sweet wheaty malt, banana chips, acrid yeast, faint orange and lemon rind, and an ethereal savoury spiciness. The taste is more dry, grainy wheat malt, dried banana, very tame candied orange, a thankfully reduced yeastiness, and more coriander-adjacent spice.
The carbonation is fairly tight and held close to the chest, the body a decent medium weight for the style, and a bit reserved in its smoothness, the yeast and overall dryness informing on that. It finishes just a whisper off-dry, the low-key fruitiness and wheat malt expiring thusly.
Not a bad brew, just a whole lot on the dry side, the nature of the malt and well-understated fruitiness not doing much for their cause. No wonder they served it with a stereotypical slice of orange, which I'll be using as a palate cleanser.
