Can dated 4/12:
Mildly hazy, but looks a bit dirty on the first pour, which also had a disappointing head. Lacing was ok, though, as I drank down to make space for the second half. A little more aggressive pour on that did create a decent head and added some more haze. The resulting white cap also had a little more staying power and added to the lace capability.
Banana and grainy wheat heavy nose, the sweetness of the first is balanced by the second. Deeper inspection definitely bring a fresh pink bubblegum note out of the banana. The wheat grain aroma becomes a little more or pairs with a little earthy spice, eventually, but not nearly as evident as the bubblegum just mentioned.
Taste is not a surprise given the nose, but is bouyed to maybe even driven by the more grainy/earthy aspects. The back end gets some banana, somewhere along the lines of one that has just ripened enough to provide some fructose sweetness. The beer seemed a little thin initially, which seemed magnified by the less sweet flavors. But as I drank it seemed to gain a little body (second pour might've helped) and softness.
