Picked this up last month but can date has 00/01/01 2019, so not quite sure what that means
Pours a large frothy fizzy 2 finger head that fades at a med pace, fair soapy lacing, hazy med honey golden color
Nose light doughy wheat, some citrus, little tartness, spices
Taste brings more doughy wheat, creamy wheat, citrus, quite a bit of floral spices like coriander clove thing, general fruity a bit of banana, spicy
Mouth is med bod, creamy, med higher frothy carb
Overall not bad, I can tell it's old but I won't hold that against it, otherwise it's not bad

Look: It pours straw with a slightly off white head. Head retention is very good.
Smell: The aroma is balanced a bit more towards the banana than clove. There are other fruity esters in the background that support the overall presentation. There is a low grainy element.
Taste: The clove is a bit more forward in the flavor than the banana. The fruit esters are in support with grainy elements.
Feel: It has a medium body with a very dry finish.
Overall, a quite fruity and spice wheat beer with plenty of vibrant flavors.

Poured from a 12 OZ can into a pint glass. The appearance is a murky pale gold color with a small white head. The aroma is slightly sour citrus and wheat. The taste matches the nose. an average beer.
