Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9 500ml bottle <br> 7.7% ABV <br> I tried this beer on March 2, 2012 after purchasing from the Queen's Quay LCBO outlet in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a hazy gold colour with a generous snow white rocky head. Aroma is yeast, wheat, banana, and spices. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation.
