A cloudy orange body is capped by a foamy white head that drops shortly to a thin but creamy surface covering; and then slowly erodes to just a thin, creamy collar. There's a touch of lace initially, but that's it (most likely inhibited by the alcohol). The nose displays fruit (berries, just ripe banana, a touch of cherry), a bit of spice, and a touch of alcohol. The body is light, but it's creamy and smooth in the mouth. The flavor is bold with banana upfront, a flash of citrus, and then a gently sweet malt that's tempered by a thread of alcoholic strength and peppery spiciness - and balanced by a firm bitterness. It finishes with a swirl of flavor before drying amongst a short-lived residual bitterness and some drying alcohol. Although I felt this was a bit too strong to have as a second beer before driving home, I just had to have a growler! Well done and worth seeking out.
