Misc.: N/A

Poured a golden, straw color with 1-to-2 fingers of frothy, white head when I got it. Nice stream of bubbles at many spots from the bottom of the glass. Sporadic, uneven lacing on the sides of the glass. Bad-to-below average retention on the top all the way down. (Sight - 3.75)

Smelled banana, cloves, tropical hops, floral hops, light green apple, green grape, kiwi and melon, but overall tough to whiff. (Smell - 3.50)

Taste was much more flavorful, reminding me of a Belgian IPA or a strong saison. Got boozy cloves, banana, Belgian spices, lemon Citra hops, floral hops, green grape, tropical notes and melon. (Taste - 3.75)

Light body. Oily texture. Lively carbonation. Long, boozy finish. (Feel - 3.50)

I had some high hopes for this one. Now 0-for-2. (Overall - 3.50)
