look: 3 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Look: It pours golden with a slightly off white head. Head retention is average although it does have Belgian Lace.

Smell: It has spicy aromas with grainy sweet notes. There is very light honey with very low lemon.

Taste: It has pleasant grainy sweet malt. There are moderate spicy notes with a bit of lemons.

Feel: It has a medium body with light alcohol notes and a mostly dry finish.

Overall, it has pleasant flavors combined with a pleasant finish. The aroma is a bit better than the flavors.

3.74/5  rDev -3.4%

A: Pours a clear medium to dark golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass and moderate amber + burnt orange colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall dense foamy off-white head that reduces to a large patch of thin film covering approximately 90% of the surface of the beer surrounded by a large patch of slightly mottled very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of banana yeast over the top of light to moderate aromas of pale + wheat malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness. Light aromas of citrus/orange zest + floral hops.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of pale + wheat malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness. That is followed by slightly stronger than moderate flavors of banana yeast. Finally there are light flavors of citrus/orange zest + floral hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which fades away fairly quickly leaving lingering banana yeast flavors.

M: Medium bodied with slightly heavier than moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly crisp initially.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and the expected mouthfeel for the style. Pleasant banana yeast flavors and decent citrus + floral hops but this beer was just not my jam - decent but I probably would not grab it again.
