*archived review*
22oz bottle poured into a pint glass
First experience with Knee Deep
p- pours clear orange w/ copper hues; 1f light khaki head; lots of carb; great head retention
n- med-bold aroma of banana and cloves
t- lots of carb in the forward leads to herbal hops and clove spicing over semi-sweet malt body; hints of banana and bittering hops in the finish; moderate alcohol heat
mf- med-full with high carb (a bit overcarbonated, imo)
o- a decent offering; kind of lackluster at first, but gets better/more cohesive as it opens
