pours a golden yellow color with a light haze noted to the body with a small white head that drops down to a thin cap, but has some decent staying power and spotty lace. The aroma consists of bananas, wheat malts and clove. The taste follows the aroma really close. The bananas are not as big in taste as they are in the aroma. A nice malty wheat base is found mid palate. Yeasty and fruity notes are all over this beer. Finishes with cloves and more bananas imparting some sweetness. The mouthfeel is light bodied beer with moderate carbonation.

Pours a clear amber orange color with a small off white frothy head which fades fairly quickly to a ring, but laces okay. The aroma is full of cirrus hops and some sweet fruity aromas. There is also a touch of sweet lightly roasted carmel malts in the background that breaks through. The taste starts off with some fruit esters and orange peel flavor. Lots of fruit elements here. Through the middle the malt comes through alongside some hop bitterness. The finish has some nice sweet fruit flavors and more of the hop bitterness that linger nicely. The mouthfeel is medium to medium-light bodied with moderate carbonation. Very nice and all around crisp beer. Lively on the tongue and very clean finish. Overall extremely drinkable. The flavor is fairly sweet, but it stays balanced throughout. Feels very nice and crisp and very refreshing. This was the first beer I have sampled from this brewery, can't wait to try some of their others. Really a great Ale!
